After upgrade to Kingston, itil user is able to click "Create dashboard version" button on homepage to create dashboard.

However, users are unable to provide a unique name while creating dashboard version of the homepage. This leads to number of users creating dashboards with the same name and leads to confusion. The dashboard with duplicate names shows up in the drop down list, example "MY ITIL Homepage", "My team's work", etc.

As an administrator, it is hard to find the right dashboard because there end up being too many duplicates in dashboard names which makes it difficult to manage for admins who will see all the available dashboards created by different users. 

Users without an admin role should not be able to create a dashboard or should be able to provide a unique name for the dashboard.
