Chapter 3      Using Dashboards
  Understanding Dashboard Widgets
For example, the Current Sessions widget is available on all appliances, but only to users with 
Administrator account privileges, while the Appliance Status widget is available only on the Defense 
Center for users with Administrator, Maintenance User, Security Analyst, or Security Analyst (Read 
Only) account privileges.
Although you cannot add an unauthorized or invalid widget to a dashboard, if you import a dashboard 
created either on a different kind of appliance or by a user with different access privileges, that dashboard 
may contain unauthorized or invalid widgets. These widgets are disabled and display error messages that 
indicate the reason why you cannot view them.
Also note that widgets cannot display data to which an appliance has no access. For example, managed 
devices cannot access correlation events, intrusion events, discovery events, and so on. If you import a 
dashboard onto a managed device that contains a Custom Analysis widget configured to display one of 
those data types, the widget displays an error message. Individual widgets also display error messages 
when those widgets have timed out or are otherwise experiencing problems.
The content of a widget can differ depending on the type of appliance you are using. For example, the 
Custom Analysis widget on a Defense Center can display discovery information, but this feature is not 
available when you configure the Custom Analysis widget on a managed device. Note than you can sort 
any content generated in table format by clicking on the table column header.
You can delete or minimize unauthorized and invalid widgets, as well as widgets that display no data, 
keeping in mind that modifying a widget on a shared dashboard modifies it for all users of the appliance.
