The Dashboard adheres to a JSP standard and is designed to be personalized. It offers many portlet options, including those that leverage Operations Center data as well as other third-party portlets offering various types of functionality. As an administrator, you can grant or restrict access to each portlet.
To restrict the use of a portlet based on user roles:
In the Control Panel, select Apps > Plugins Configuration.
By default, all portlets have the role User, which allows all users access to the portlet. Complete the following actions to restrict or grant access to a portlet:
Click the link for the desired portlet.
To make the portlet unavailable to all users, deselect Active.
To grant access based on specific roles, specify the role names in the area provided. Users assigned to the roles listed can add the portlet to their web pages.
Click Save.
While not a best practice, you can configure permissions for a specific instance of a portlet. For more information, see Section 12.2.2, Assigning Individual Permissions to a Portlet.
