1 As an administrator, you may come across the need to edit a user's profile, however you will notice that some sections (e.g. ##Dashboard##) do not show up. Those sections are currently displayed only to the user for which the profile page belongs, even if you are an admin. To work around this limitation, this is what you can do:
2
3 1. Log in as an administrator
4 1. Go to the user's profile page in edit mode and see that the ##Dashboard## section is not visible:(((
5 {{image reference="admin_editing_user_profile.png"/}}
6 )))
7 1. Apply the ##Dashboard.XWikiUserDashboardSheet## sheet (for the example of the ##Dashboard## section) directly in the current URL (don`t forget to press Enter after that to navigate to the modified URL). Example:(((
8 {{code}}
9 http://yourserver/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/useridforwhichyouwhattochagedashboard?sheet=Dashboard.XWikiUserDashboardSheet
10 {{/code}}
11 )))
12 1. Now you will be able to see the ##Dashboard## section's content and use it to edit the user's dashboard
13 11. You can change the value of the property ##Display my dashboard on the wiki home when I'm logged in (instead of the default dashboard)## from ##No## to ##Yes## and/or
14 11. You can add a gadget (e.g. an ##include## macro gadget)(((
15 You should be able to see the following screen (with the example ##include## macro gadget added to the user's dashboard):

20 For our Dashboard example, when looking at the default dashboard (like the one displayed on the homepage), the user will now see the dashboard you have customized for him:

22 {{image reference="user_home.png"/}}
