 * Hello, I just noticed the Dashboard widget is visible to anyone having access
   to dashboard, even subscribers.
 * That’s obviously not the correct behavior, maybe adding a capability check could
   help 😀

 * I have fixed this in v4.5.3, you can [find an early release here](http://michaelwalsh.org/blog/2013/09/email-users-v4-5-3-beta-2-available/)
   if you’d like to test it. The Dashboard Widget will only be shown to users who
   posses some level of Email Users capability.

 * Hello Mike, i also found a tutorial for hiding dashboard widgets, i was hoping
   if you can mention what is the short code of the dashboard widget so that we 
   can use the code here to hide it till there’s a final version available.

 * I have released an update (v4.5.4), it should appear on your Dashboard soon if
   it isn’t already there.
