Securing the Dashboard

#Configuration #Dashboard
The default URL of Automad's dashboard is /dashboard. To add an extra layer of security to your site you can set a custom URL or disable the dashbaord entirely.

Set a Custom URL

Use a custom URL for the dashboard by adding the AM_PAGE_DASHBOARD field to the config/config.php:
```
"AM_PAGE_DASHBOARD": "/custom-url"
```
Disabling the Dashboard

In case you manage your site locally and then deploy the full site to your web server using a ssh session or similar, you can disable the dashboard on the public site entirely by adding the following setting to the config/config.php:
```
"AM_PAGE_DASHBOARD": false
```
