# User/Global/Network Admin Dashboard

 * I need to add a custom dashboard widget and remove other widgets to my multisite.
   i.e. to remove some widgets from the dashboard for each site I add this to my
   functions.php:
 *     ```
       function remove_dashboard_widgets() {
   
       	global $wp_meta_boxes;
       	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_primary']);
       	unset($wp_meta_boxes['dashboard']['side']['core']['dashboard_secondary']);
       }
       add_action('wp_dashboard_setup', 'remove_dashboard_widgets');
       ```
   
 * But for a multisite the network admin has another dashboard, and when users register
   for my site (they register for all blogs) they see a global dashboard and these
   widgets dont get removed.
 * Can someone please help me figure out where to add the code to remove these widgets
   from network admin and from the user/global dashboard and also if the code needs
   to be changed at all.
 * Thanks.

 * Also, if you’re planning to do this on a global level, you’ll probably want to
   put the code into a PHP file and upload it to wp-content/mu-plugins rather than
   trying to replicate the code in (potentially) multiple themes.
