Answers.Text: I still have a question: why do the board members do not get the "Contact reports" entry in the dropdown menu "Reports"? While, when they select "All reports", they do get the contact reports... All other 4 items in the dropdown list are visible: contribution, events, mailing, members... only "Contact reports" is missing. Where to find the permission for this menu link?

  If I recall correctly, this is down to some peculiarity of the dashlet permissions. If you go to the **Access** tab of the report in question, you'll see two ways to set the permissions (see screenshot below). However, I believe only the "permission" setting will control access to the dashlet. Try setting both the Role ("Board Member") and the permission (to any permission the board members have) and you should be good to go.
