+== ACLs and Dashboards
+
+Root dashboards can also list `acls`. This controls whether the **whole dashboard page** is visible (including `display` widgets and entity fieldsets), not just action buttons.
+
+* If a dashboard has **no** `acls` (or an empty list), it is unrestricted — anyone can see it in the side menu (subject to the usual “empty dashboard” hiding).
+* If a dashboard lists one or more `acls`, access uses the same allow-list rules as actions: a matching ACL that grants `view`, otherwise `defaultPermissions.view`.
+* `addToEveryAction` does **not** apply to dashboards. List the ACL on the dashboard explicitly when you want to restrict it.
+* Nested fieldsets and directories do not have their own `acls`; the root dashboard decision covers the whole page.
+
+Action `acls` still control individual buttons. Use dashboard `acls` when you need to hide a page that contains status or other non-action content from some users.

 == ACL Matching - usernames and usergroups.
 
 You can match users based on their usergroup which is the most common, but it is also possible to match based on the user's username.
