In reply to: [Plugin: Dashboard Heaven] Simply perfect!Hi Karen,
The levels 1-10 are from the old WordPress permission system. You can also use the current capability based system. Just select the lowest level capability for the roles that you want the widget to be visible to.
Here is the codex link for more information http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Capability_vs._Role_Table
Just select the minimum capability of the user type you want the widget to be visible to and Bob’s your uncle! For the news feed, if you set it at ‘publish_posts’, authors and above can see it but contributors and below wont.

In reply to: Dashboard Widgets – PluginsI recently made this plugin to customise the admin dashboard widgets for each user-level. Maybe it will do the trick for you.

In reply to: How to remove boxes from the Dashboard?I had a similar issue and the unset($wp_meta_boxes) was fine until I wanted to granulate this on a per user-level basis.
So I made a plugin to do just that. Just install, activate and set the minimum user-level visibility for each admin dashboard widget

Hope this helps.
