Default Dashboard

Default Dashboard gives Craft users a useful dashboard from their first sign-in. Define the widgets once, tailor defaults by user group when needed, and stop configuring every account by hand.

A better first login

An empty dashboard is not much of a welcome. Build a shared set of widgets around the way the project actually works, and new users arrive to useful shortcuts, guidance and information from their first login.

Group-specific layouts

Give different user groups their own source dashboard, with a global fallback.

Respect personal layouts

Use the shared dashboard as a starting point or keep enforcing it after users make changes.

Admin exclusions

Leave administrator dashboards untouched when they need a different operational view.

Configure it once

Choose whether the shared layout should replace a user’s existing widgets or only fill an empty dashboard. Administrators avoid repeating the same setup account by account, while editors continue working through Craft’s normal dashboard interface.
