The dashboard is the interface administrators access to manage user registration, create Challenges, set up Events, manage workflows, and more. It provides the tools for you to implement the features of Refresh.

For employees who need access to the dashboard, they must be added as a user, and have the appropriate administrator role assigned to their profile.
