  (Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-09)
  
  I want users to have access to the Contact Dashboard on our CiviCRM site. But I'm currently getting the following error when trying to access.
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/zc2n3.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/zc2n3.png)
  The following permissions I have set.
  
  Authenticated User:
  
  * CiviCRM: access Contact Dashboard
  
  Anonymous:
  
  * CiviCRM: profile create
  * CiviEvent: register for events
  * CiviEvent: view event info
  * CiviDonate: make online contributions
  * CiviCampaign: sign CiviCRM Petition
  
  If I give the permissions "CiviCRM: access CiviCRM backend and API" it fixes the issues but do not probably want to do that.

  You have to have this permission (access CiviCRM backend and API) for anyone to access anything CiviCRM related, it's the minimum permission required for anyone to do anything.
  
  You can have a look at some information regarding this here - <https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/drupal/issues/45>
  
  There are a lot of other pages that say similar things as well, it sounds like a scary permission to give someone but in reality it's more of a first step kind of thing.
  
  Unfortunately, this means that anyone with the access CiviCRM backend and API permission can see the CiviCRM menu but there are ways of going about this such as the answers on this question - [How to remove CIviCRM from menu for some roles](https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/25348/how-to-remove-civicrm-from-menu-for-some-roles)
