Dashboard

Dataverse offers a dashboard of administrative tools for superusers only. If you are a logged-in superuser, you can access it by clicking your username in the navbar, and then clicking “Dashboard” from the dropdown. You can verify that you are a superuser by checking the color of your username in the navbar. If it’s red, you have the right permissions to use the Dashboard. Superusers can give other users the superuser status via User Administration.
