# Manage Homepage Widgets

The “Manage Homepage Widgets Security” allows administrators to control viewer and author access to homepage widgets, determining what each user type can view or modify.

* **Permission Settings:** Administrators can configure widget permissions, ensuring users only see or interact with widgets relevant to them.
* **User Types:** Access can be granted based on user type:
  * **Viewers:** View basic information.
  * **Authors:** Edit or create content within widgets.
* Widget Restrictions: Administrators can allow or restrict access to specific widgets, such as My Requests or My Recent Notifications, for different user roles, keeping the homepage tailored to user needs.
