# Active Directory Dashboard
Single Pane of Glass for Entire Active Directory
Dashboard, provides a general and holistic view of security posture about scanned Active Directory Forests based on different perspectives.
The sections shared by all providers, and the Active Directory-only **Network Scan Health**, **Risk by scope** and **Over-privilege audit logging** cards, are described on the [Dashboard](/forestall/dashboard.md) page. The **Tier Analysis Statistics** and **Top Choke Points** sections are shown below the entity tables.
### Risk Pane
This Risk Pane summarizes key risk metrics from the scan, including the overall Risk and Exposure Scores, Tier 0 Identities, Dangerous Paths, Shadow Admins, and severity levels (Critical to Info). It also breaks down risks by MITRE ATT\&CK Tactics (e.g., Persistence, Privilege Escalation), Tags (e.g., Privilege Management, Account Security), Impacts (e.g., Credential Theft, NTLM Relay), and Entity Types (e.g., Domain, User, GPO). This layout helps quickly pinpoint high-risk areas and prioritize actions.
Risk Pane
### Risk Breakdown by Tags, Impacts and Entity Types
**Risk Breakdown by Tags**: Risk scores based on Tags.
**Risk Breakdown by Impacts**: Risk scores based on Impacts.
**Risk Breakdown by Entity Types**: Risk scores based on Entity Types.
### Active Directory Entity Pane
Entity Pane, contains different statistics by object types for the selected scan. This area can be useful to view identity-related statistics from both security and management perspectives. The result of these statistics can be seen with **Search & Reports** interface with just one click.
Active Directory Entity Pane
**Risky Admins (N):** Admins with elevated privileges that pose security risks due to weak credentials, over-permissioning, or suspicious activity. The card lists the top five admin accounts by risk score, and **View All >** opens the full list in Search & Reports.
**Shadow Admins (N):** Admins with hidden or hard-to-detect privileges, increasing the risk of unnoticed misuse. The card lists the top five shadow admins by risk score, and **View All >** opens the full list in Search & Reports. The **Path ยป** button on each row opens the shortest path to an admin for that account in the graph.
The header of each table below shows the total number of objects of that type, for example **User (978)**.
