The Dashboard provides a central landing page where a user can navigate to content areas and get up to speed on recent site activity. Users with access to more than one site will see the Dashboard when they log in, whereas a user with access to only one site will automatically be taken to that site's landing page when they log in unless a System Notice has been added to the instance. In addition, based on how that instance of Collaborate has been configured, the user may not be given access to the Dashboard.
