Thanks for the reply, Michael I think I am seeing something different. On the Group admin page, in the 'Group Permissions' section, I see a list of permissions with the "allow" and "deny" checkbox next to each one, but I don't see 'Manage dashboard modules' anywhere in that list. Should it be on that page? In the 'Administration' sub-section? (I am guessing so). This is the list I see in that section:
Manage comments on all posts Manage comments on one's own posts Manage tags Manage options Change theme Configure the active theme Activate/deactivate plugins Configure active plugins Use the importer Add, remove, and edit users Edit own profile Manage groups and permissions Manage logs Create media silo directories Delete media silo directories Upload files to media silos Delete files from media silos I know that the Core Dashboard Modules plugin is active because I AM seeing the dashboard modules when I log in as a super user. The site I am looking at at the moment is running 0.7.1. I'm running various sites with various versions of Habari. I can't immediately see the 'Manage dashboard modules' in any of them, unless I am looking in completely the wrong place! Philip On May 23, 12:51 pm, "Michael C.
