Restricting Users' Dashboard Personalizations
When you first publish a dashboard, you can set a restriction level that indicates the types of changes users can make to each tabbed page of the published dashboard.
You set this restriction level by selecting from the following three modes on the Publish Dashboard page's Apply To Tabs subtab:
-
Unlocked – lets users make all changes to the selected page.
-
Locked – restricts users from making any changes to the selected page.
-
Add/Move Content – enables users to add and rearrange portlets on the selected page, and at the same time prevents them from removing portlets.
The Add/Move Content option prevents users from removing not only portlets that were added as part of the published dashboard but also the portlets they added themselves.
When selecting a mode for each tabbed page, or tab, included in the published dashboard, you can specify different modes for each tab.
After you have saved a published dashboard, you cannot modify these modes, so make your selections carefully!
Each Publish Dashboard page has options for locking the Shortcuts portlet and the New Bar so that users cannot remove links. These options can be changed after a dashboard has been published.
