No privilege choice to allow access to Dashboard
0%
Description
Scenario
You want a group of users (or a single one for that matter) to be able to log into pfSense and just have access to the Dashboard that you composed, in order for them to be able to assess the network status (Interfaces, Gateways, Traffic Graphs, System Information, etc..)
Problem:
There is no 'WebCfg - Status: Dashboard page' option in "System: User/Group manager: Add privileges -> System Privileges" list.

That page identifies itself as "System: Login / Logout page" - not 100% sure why it can't be Dashboard, Index, or "Main Page" but any of those would apply.
In the meantime you can try using that privilege to see if it has the desired effect.

Ah, I see. Not quite intuitive, but that solved part of the problem. Now the issue is to display the dashboard correctly.
As you can see below, some information isn't displayed. I tried assigning the following privileges to solve the issue, but it didn't have any effect.
Name Description
WebCfg - System: Login / Logout page Allow access to the 'System: Login / Logout' page.
WebCfg - Status: CPU load page Allow access to the 'Status: CPU load' page.
WebCfg - Status: Traffic Graph page Allow access to the 'Status: Traffic Graph' page.

I have now tried adding all the privileges that seem remotely related to the sections that aren't working on the Dashboard, with no luck. Unless I add 'WebCfg - All pages', the result is the same as above.
Currently the following privileges are applied to the group with no positive results:
Name Description
WebCfg - System: Login / Logout page Allow access to the 'System: Login / Logout' page.
WebCfg - Status: CPU load page Allow access to the 'Status: CPU load' page.
WebCfg - Status: Traffic Graph page Allow access to the 'Status: Traffic Graph' page.
WebCfg - Diagnostics: System Activity Allows access to the 'Diagnostics: System Activity' page
WebCfg - Diagnostics: CPU Utilization page Allow access to the 'Diagnostics: CPU Utilization' page.
WebCfg - Required for javascript page Allow access to the 'Required for javascript' page.
WebCfg - Status: RRD Graphs page Allow access to the 'Status: RRD Graphs' page.
So is this a bug, or am I still missing something? =)

Although that is not easy on 2.0
You need to add also
Allow access to the 'XMLRPC Interface Stats' page.

- Target version changed from 2.0 to 2.1
Presently there is no proper way to do it.
The solution is envolved and it will wait 2.1

This should be worked around for now on 2.0/2.1 but if there is a more elegant long-term solution for 2.1 that would be nice to have.

- Target version changed from 2.2 to 2.3
The current permission seems to be fine for most everyone. If we need to improve upon this, it can wait until after 2.2

We haven't had any complaints about this in a while, the current privilege for the Dashboard seems to be working for everyone. May not be worth any extra effort here, we could just close this out.

- Status changed from New to Resolved
As mentioned by Pingle, no complaints in a while, current privileges seems to be working
