Select the minimum access level you want to make a dashboard widget visible to.

Note: You cannot force a widget to be visible if it was never visible to a capability to begin with. Example: It is not possible to make the 'Recent Comments' widget visible to a user with an 'edit_published_posts' or lower capability. This is due to the widget's specific add-to-dashboard code and not a limitation of this plugin.
