# Dashboards

The "Dashboard Security" allows administrators to control access to system and custom dashboards, ensuring data security and user visibility.

**Dashboard Types:**

* **System Dashboards:** Pre-built dashboards offer immediate insights into key metrics, eliminating configuration needs.
* **Custom Dashboards:** Allow users to create personalized dashboards with their preferred reports and organization.
* **Favorites Dashboards:** Individual user workspaces for managing and organizing reports based on their needs. (Automatically created for each user.)

**Security Features (Administrators only):**

* **Control Access:** Define who can view, manage, and add reports to different dashboard types.

**Dashboard Permissions**&#x20;

OE\_ADMIN and users with the "ovaledge.role.admin" role can manage access permissions for dashboards (system, custom, and favorites).

* **Grant/Deny Access:** Control which users or roles can view, manage, and add reports to different dashboards.
* **Bulk Permission Management:** Efficiently update role permissions across multiple dashboards simultaneously.

**Detailed Permission Management:**

* **Individual Permissions:** Add, modify, or delete metadata (view/edit) permissions for specific roles or users on individual dashboards.
* **Role-Based Access:** Set metadata permissions for roles based on license type limitations.

**Additional Actions:**

* **Define Dashboard Admin:** Assign a role as admin for a dashboard, granting them the highest permissions (OE\_ADMIN or "ovaledge.role.admin" only).
* **Delete Dashboards:** Delete existing dashboards.
