dashlets available only to members of group?

[targa2000]

how can dashlets be limited to members of a group?

They can't currently - you'd have to develop the functionality yourself.

Thanks,

You can actually create a dashlet with functionality that is limited to be available for a certain group and display a default message for all other users that are not in the specific group.
But for now the dashlet will always be made available for all users to add.

Dashlets also have a family attribute. The value of family attribute controls whether dashlets are user dashlets, site dashlets, global dashlets, or whatever dashlet family you want to call.

We ran into the same problem. To solve the problem we created a custom page. In that custom page, we added custom dashlets that had a custom family attribute (not being displayed in the dashlet library for users to add). We then set permissions around the page. This way certain users can see the page custom page and had access to dashlets on them.
