Hi all! New to HA, not new to managing a server. I'm using a docker approach with the ghcr.io registry, and I'm on the stable image.
The dashboard feature doesn't work how I imagine it would work. The rest of my family is not tech savvy, and cannot setup their own dashboard. I want to create a dashboard (that I can edit as-we-go) that is used by every user of my HA instance by default. It's a gigantic pain having to login for them, and then click a few buttons, on each of their devices (if they'd even let me :p). How do I achieve this? Or is it a HA limitation that an administrator cannot administer dashboards? Thanks in advance.

TLDR: How to set a default dashboard for new users on all their devices?

Take control of the overview dashboard and customize it as you wish. That is then the default dashboard for everybody.

#

HA is hardcoded that a client with no saved preferred dashboard goes to /overview. But what that dashboard has on it is up to you.

I see - let's see if I can figure out how to modify Overview as opposed to creating my own from scratch. Thanks a lot for the insight!
