Dashboard View

Arrange per-role admin dashboard widgets using the page builder.

Last updated April 28, 2026 View as Markdown

Dashboard View lets an admin arrange the tiles that appear on the admin landing page (/admin). Each role (e.g. Super Admin, CMS Editor) can have its own arrangement; logged-in users see the dashboard belonging to their first assigned role.

Access requires the manage_dashboard_config permission (granted to super_admin by default).

How it works

  • Choose a role from the dropdown at the top of the page.
  • If that role doesn't have a dashboard yet, click Create dashboard for {role} to seed one.
  • Use the page builder that appears below to add, reorder, configure, or remove widgets. The picker only shows widgets that opt into the dashboard slot (currently Memos, Quick Actions, This Week's Events).
  • Only Background and Text appearance controls are editable for dashboard widgets — padding, margin, and full-width are intentionally hidden because the dashboard grid controls those.

Multi-role users

When a user has more than one role, the dashboard resolver picks the role with the lowest roles.id — which in practice means the first role ever created in the installation. To change which dashboard a user sees, change which role is first in their assignment list or (simpler) configure the role they end up resolving to.
