When you say 'dashboard', I assume you mean the node-red editor? You can change the path you access the editor using the `httpAdminRoot` property in your settings file.

Hi @hathemi

As I said in my reply, I was assuming you wanted to change the url you access the editor on - as you had mentioned `adminAuth` which is used to secure the editor.

It is now clear you did mean you wanted to change the URL used to access the Node-RED Dashboard page.

In your settings file you should find a setting called `ui` - that can be used to set the path the Node-RED Dashboard is served on. If you want to change that to `/` then you _must_ also set `httpAdminRoot` to move the node-red editor away from the root path.

For example:

```
 httpAdminRoot: '/admin',
 ui: { path: "/" }

```

This will move the editor to `/admin` and the dashboard on `/`.
