 Hi there,

 I was looking at how I could enable or disable the ability to view the
 dashboard for specific user roles, but apparently there is no read
 dashboard capability that can be removed to not show the dashboard to the
 user...

 This probably has to do with the fact that the dashboard is the first page
 the user gets to when going to the administration panel...

 I would like to see an option added to wordpress where there is a
 read_dashboard capability, and perhaps some sort of functionality to
 specify which is the default page for a user that has read_dashboard
 disabled. Perhaps it could fall back to the first page in the menu on the
 left? Or perhaps fall back to the wordpress release update page?
