    providing permission-based access control.

    .. attribute:: name

        The name of the panel. This will be displayed in the
        auto-generated navigation and various other places.
        Default: ``''``.

    .. attribute:: slug

        A unique "short name" for the panel. The slug is used as
        a component of the URL path for the panel. Default: ``''``.

    .. attribute:: permissions

        A list of permission names, all of which a user must possess in order
        to access any view associated with this panel. This attribute
        is combined cumulatively with any permissions required on the
        ``Dashboard`` class with which it is registered.

        Path to a URLconf of views for this panel using dotted Python
        notation. If no value is specified, a file called ``urls.py``
        living in the same package as the ``panel.py`` file is used.

    .. method:: nav(context)

        to control whether or not this panel should appear in

        The ``name`` argument for the URL pattern which corresponds to

    All Horizon dashboards should extend from this base class. It provides the
    appropriate hooks for automatic discovery of :class:`~horizon.Panel`
    modules, automatically constructing URLconfs, and providing
    permission-based access control.

    .. attribute:: name

        The name of the dashboard. This will be displayed in the
        auto-generated navigation and various other places.
        Default: ``''``.

    .. attribute:: slug

        A unique "short name" for the dashboard. The slug is used as
        a component of the URL path for the dashboard. Default: ``''``.

    .. attribute:: panels

        The ``panels`` attribute can be either a flat list containing the name
        of each panel **module**  which should be loaded as part of this
        dashboard, or a list of :class:`~horizon.PanelGroup` classes which
        define groups of panels as in the following example::

            class SystemPanels(horizon.PanelGroup):
                slug = "syspanel"
                name = _("System Panel")

            class Syspanel(horizon.Dashboard):
                panels = (SystemPanels,)

        Automatically generated navigation will use the order of the
        modules in this attribute.

        Default: ``[]``.

        .. warning::

            The values for this attribute should not correspond to the
            :attr:`~.Panel.name` attributes of the ``Panel`` classes.
            They should be the names of the Python modules in which the
            ``panel.py`` files live. This is used for the automatic
            loading and registration of ``Panel`` classes much like
            Django's ``ModelAdmin`` machinery.

            Panel modules must be listed in ``panels`` in order to be
            discovered by the automatic registration mechanism.

    .. attribute:: default_panel

        The name of the panel which should be treated as the default
        panel for the dashboard, i.e. when you visit the root URL
        for this dashboard, that's the panel that is displayed.
        Default: ``None``.

    .. attribute:: permissions

        A list of permission names, all of which a user must possess in order
        to access any panel registered with this dashboard. This attribute
        is combined cumulatively with any permissions required on individual
        :class:`~horizon.Panel` classes.

    .. attribute:: urls

        Optional path to a URLconf of additional views for this dashboard
        which are not connected to specific panels. Default: ``None``.

    .. attribute:: nav

        Optional boolean to control whether or not this dashboard should
        appear in automatically-generated navigation. Default: ``True``.

    .. attribute:: supports_tenants

        Optional boolean that indicates whether or not this dashboard includes
        support for projects/tenants. If set to ``True`` this dashboard's
        navigation will include a UI element that allows the user to select
        project/tenant. Default: ``False``.

    .. attribute:: public

        Boolean value to determine whether this dashboard can be viewed
        without being logged in. Defaults to ``False``.
