The Solid Security Dashboard utilizes Security Cards to organize all your security activity in a more digestible way. Security Cards break the info from the logs down to easy-to-consume bite-sized nuggets of data.
How to Enable the Security Dashboard
Note: Security Dashboard Requirements: Solid Security Pro version 5.6.0 and WordPress 5.0 or later.
After updating to Solid Security 7.0, you will see that the Security Dashboard module has been updated.
You can enable the Security Dashboard during the onboarding process. You can also choose which user groups get to see the dashboard by toggling ON the switch Enable Dashboard Creation in your User Groups settings.
Once you’ve enabled the dashboard, you can view it in your WordPress Admin menu.
Next, you can create a new dashboard using the Solid Security default dashboard or create one from scratch. Enter a name for your board and then click the Create New Dashboard button.
