Dashboards show data from source reports as visual components that provide a snapshot of key metrics and performance indicators. Dashboards need to be refreshed manually or scheduled to run on a regular basis to reflect the most recent data from the reports. The running user of a dashboard determines whose security settings are applied when the dashboard is run. If the running user is different from the viewer of the dashboard, they may see different data based on their permissions and sharing settings.

The Stage Setup Flow is a tool that allows administrators to customize stages for leads and opportunities based on best practices from Salesforce experts. The Stage Setup Flow guides administrators through a series of questions about their sales process and then creates or updates stages for leads or opportunities accordingly. The Stage Setup Flow also provides tips and resources for each stage such as key fields, guidance for success, reports and dashboards, etc. Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.stages_setup_flow_overview.htm&type=5

A custom profile is a profile that can be created and customized by administrators to define what users can see and do in Salesforce based on their job function or role. It can be used by Cloud Kicks to give read, create, and edit access for objects and restrict users from deleting any records by creating and assigning a custom profile with delete access removed for each object in the object settings. Assigning the standard system administrator profile to analytical user, giving user view all access and assigning them to highest role in role hierarchy, or creating and assigning permission set that includes read, create, and edit access are not solutions for giving read, create, and edit access for objects and restricting users from deleting any records; they either give too much access or do not remove delete access.

Get Records is a flow element that allows you to retrieve one or more records from an object that meet certain conditions and store them in a collection variable or a record variable for use later in the flow. You can also choose which fields from those records you want to store in variables. Reference: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.flow_ref_elements_data_getrecords.htm&type=5

There are two possible reasons why users are unable to access a report based on a custom report type created by an administrator. One is that the custom report type is in development mode, which means that it is not deployed and available for use by other users except for administrators and users with manage custom report types permission. The other is that the report is saved in a private folder, which means that it is visible only to its owner and not shared with other users or groups.
