Dashboard Creation Requiring Workspace Access Entitlement?

Hi Team, 

I have analysts set up in Databricks with the "Databricks SQL access" entitlement who are no longer able to create a new Dashboard on their own and just getting a blank page when they try. The API response to their create dashboard request is: "User does not have the workspace-access entitlement", and it seems that only users with the "Workspace access" entitlement are still able to create a new dashboard. 

Is this an intentional change to Databricks entitlements? The latest documentation on Databricks entitlements makes no mention of this. 

If this is intentional, I would strongly disagree with this change. These are analysts that primarily focus on report creation and ad-hoc queries; they shouldn't have to be granted all the capabilities that come with the "Workspace access" entitlement if they're just making Dashboards. 

Thank you, 
Matthew
