Configure the default dashboard
When users log in to Jira Cloud applications for the first time, they see the default dashboard. As a Jira administrator, you can change the gadgets and the layout of this default dashboard to show the most important information for your team. Note that the default dashboard cannot be deleted.
Add a gadget to the default system dashboard

In the User interface section, select System dashboard.
Select Add Gadget. To view all available gadgets, select Load all gadgets.
Find the gadget you want to add. You can also filter the gadgets by searching for or clicking a category on the left.

If you add a gadget that not all users have permission to, they simply won't see that gadget on the default dashboard. For example, the Administration gadget will not be visible to non-admin users.
