What kind of dashboards are you creating: My dashboards or a specific
group dashboards?

What kind of users are you trying to give access to the dashboards,
Privileged users or Unprivileged users (users who use SelfService).

The Home pulldown menu is calculated as the first 7 dashboards you
have permission to see (this gets better in 4.2).

Unfortunately no.

This is incorrect.  If you don't set up proper permissions, creating
it as user won't help.

Subscriptions are managed by the logged in user.
If you sort your permissions out, you'll be able to grant users
access without doing anything else.
