Define user types and create and assign permission sets. Next, define the main user types in your organization and create permission sets to group related user permissions per each user type’s needs. After you create permission sets, assign them to users.

Yes, you can easily create that dashboard by using the ServiceCase pre-defined dataset and you can add Toggle option for the priority filter option. Here, I have created that dashboard (My Service Dashboard) with Toggle option for Case Priority. Based on the toggle priority option your Service Managers can view their right data.
