8.5.5 Managing Dashboards
Before a user can access the dashboards that you have created in Enterprise Manager, you need to assign the user appropriate permissions based on the user's role or group. In general, you should first configure a security provider (see Specifying a Security Provider), otherwise, the only role available will be “anonymous”.
To configure permissions for a dashboard, follow the steps below:
1. Open the 'Dashboard Manager' page (in the Server tab, under 'Presentation' > 'Dashboard').
2. Select 'Role' or 'Group', depending on the scope of permission you want to assign. (See Users, Roles, and Groups for more information.)
3. Click on an identity in the top table. This exposes the 'Dashboard for' table. For example, click the 'Everyone' role to expose the 'Dashboards for Everyone' table.

4. Check the box in the 'Enable' column next to the dashboards you wish to activate for the selected role.
5. Click the arrows in the 'Arrange' columns to position the User Portal dashboard tabs in the desired display order. (This ordering only affects newly added dashboards. After a user has already accessed a dashboard, the ordering for that dashboard is controlled by the user through the Portal 'Preferences' dialog box. See the User Preferences section of the End User.)
6. Click 'Apply' to enter the settings.
The table lists the dashboards that are currently accessible to a given role.

Dashboards that you enable for a user will be visible to the user the next time they access the Dashboard tab in the Portal. The enabled dashboards will also be appended to the 'Dashboard' table of the user's Portal 'Preferences' dialog box. Dashboards that you disable for a user will no longer be listed in this table. From the Portal 'Preferences' dialog box, users can choose to disable or reorder dashboards to suit their needs. See the Deploying a Dashboard section in the End User for more information.
