The creator of a filter or dashboard is the owner by default. Only owners can edit their saved filters and dashboards. In cases where an owner can no longer maintain a filter or dashboard, a Jira administrator can change the owner. If a Jira administrator must make changes to a filter or dashboard, he or she must take ownership of it. This is undesirable, so generally filter and dashboard creators should maintain their filters and dashboards.
Jira Server 7.12 will have the ability to share ownership for filters and dashboards: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftware/jira-software-7-12-x-release-notes-953676636.html?utm_source=product-release-email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=server-dc-weekly_EML-3515&jobid=103612690&subid=1276404564#JiraSoftware7.12.xreleasenotes-filters
