 Linking the admin class to the dashboard is done automatically because of the
 default option you defined above:
 
-    dashboard_groups:
-        default: ~
+    dashboard
+        blocks:
+            # display a dashboard block

+
+        groups:
+            default: ~
 
 However you can define only admin groups you want to show in the dashboard by:
 
-    dashboard_groups:
-        sonata_page:
-            label: Page
-            items: ~
+    dashboard
