No, the dashboard is not a multi user dashboard, so you would need to store the connected users in [context](https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context) and remove them when disconnected. You can then reference the context store to see how many are connected.

You may want to track the new dashboard which may do what you require, or add a feature request. [Dashboard 2.0 Pre-Alpha Available](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/dashboard-2-0-pre-alpha-available/80142)
