Managing Dashboards

When you first authenticate into Identity Security Cloud, you see MySailPoint, a landing page where you can track important information about your account and tenant. The Home dashboard is displayed.

The Home dashboard is your default dashboard. All users have access to a personal home dashboard that can be customized. As an administrator, you can create up to 4 additional personal dashboards to track the information most important to you. End users cannot create additional personal dashboards.

You can also create and share managed dashboards with users by assigning them entitlements associated with the managed dashboard. Each tenant can have up to 20 managed dashboards.

What is displayed on each dashboard depends on the user's permissions and the type of dashboard.
