The Dashboard Manager empowers system administrators to create multiple dashboards tailored for Screendragon users and manage access to each one.

Administrators can design landing pages and determine which users have permission to view each page, representing the first level of permission control.

Each landing page comprises several widgets, access to which is also governed by permissions. Administrators can specify which users can view individual widgets on a landing page, establishing the second level of permission control.

Additionally, the permissions dictate the content displayed within each widget, meaning users' visibility is restricted according to their access rights, constituting the third level of permission control.

Administrators can modify the widgets' order and size (percentage width). The system dynamically rearranges the landing page based on the widgets accessible to each user, ensuring an optimal viewing experience.
