When you enable the Employee Center Dashboard Publishing feature, the Global Permissions feature is also enabled (unless it already is). For more information, see Using the Global Permissions Feature. To use the publishing tool, you'll need to assign the Employee Center Publishing global permission to a user. This user can then publish the Employee Center dashboard from the Employee Center role. Other users can't customize their own dashboards, and a lock icon (
