not sure if API is the right place for this question, but here goes
I have created a user that can only access one page - i.e. their content node opens up on their page. However, when they first login the dashboard items appear showing recent edits and the contact listing. How do I go about hiding the dashboard from this user. I could edit the dashboard config and move those items to another section, but that is not ideal.
I've installed blog 4 umbraco and it's running next another site in the same umbraco environment. Isn't there any way the blog 4 umbraco dashboard is only available for users who log into the blog 4 umbraco website (blog as rootnode for the user)?
Andrew, I think this might an upcoming feature in future version of Umbraco.
Jeroen, You can set the blog as the root node for the user, yes, which would have that effect, under users, click on the user, then select blog for the "Start Node in Content"
That user will now only see the blog section of the site.
I may be wrong, but thought that v4.6 will allow you to do so. May need to check Niels' intro speech at the umbraco uk festival, available online somewhere (check @warrenbuckley 's tweets)
@Ian I already did that and it works, but if a user is logging in who only has acces to the other website they also get to see the dashboard, while they don't have acces to the blog.
@Dirk I hope 4.6 supports this. Seems like a nice feature.
Are you using 4.5? You can hide the dashboard by permissions in the dashboard config file. http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/dashboardconfig you can only ban groups, but if you make this user part of a special group you could hide the tabs you don't want them to see? I don't think you can do it by individual user though.......
Does any of you know if this still works in 4.7.1.1?
I'm trying to hide the "StartupDashboardSection" in the dashboard.config and it already has a <deny> element, which contains the translator user. But when I add a custom user type called "institution" the dashboard still appears and is accessible when I log in with the user type.
I have recycled the app pool after making the changes in the config.
Hide Dashboard from user
Hi All

I hope it is a simple setting:) any ideas

As I know it isn't possible to show dashboard controls only for some users.

Thats a pity
Thanks Thomas

Thanks Tim! You're right it's supported in Umbraco 4.5. Here is my dashboard:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <dashBoard> <section> <access> <deny>editor</deny> </access> <areas> <area>content</area> </areas> <tab caption="Comments"> <control>/usercontrols/Blog4Umbraco/CommentModeration.ascx</control> </tab> <tab caption="Blog"> <control>/usercontrols/Blog4Umbraco/BlogCreator.ascx</control> </tab> </section> </dashBoard>Jeroen
