# Edit dashboard availability

As a Site Administrator you may wish to edit the availability of a [dashboard](/totara-20/docs/what-is-a-dashboard), determining which users are able to access it.

To edit a dashboard's availability, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Navigation > Dashboards* to view all dashboards.
2. Click the cog icon ( ![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/cog.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T16%3A51%3A04Z&se=2026-11-09T17%3A51%3A04Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ccYlFcp%2BEKUjquTnJl1STOCQ9JIT9%2BcazHckE4yHSwg%3D)) next to the dashboard you wish to edit.
3. Configure the availability [settings](/totara-20/docs/dashboard-settings).
