I use a fresh install of OH3 on a ubuntu server.I installed some bindings and added Things to the model as Items. But I can’t configure the habpanel. How can you enable the habpanel configuration in OH3? I found no settings and it seems this is not supported by default. Tested with Firefox, Chrome and IE same error: No default panel configuration! ### Sign in with the main UI to enable editing in HABPanel and set a default panel configuration. bw Bill ---

To get to HABPanel, click on the little rectangular icon in the upper right corner. It’s listed there. If it’s not listed you need to install it. ---

hey rick, habpanel is there, I cannot configure it. ![grafik](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/1/1/112326a60d7215e3817f2e9b994d767a16301e5d.png) ---

So, did you follow the suggestion and log into MainUI (click the shield at the bottom left) before trying to open it? OH 3 has authentication and authorization which prevents changing things unless you are logged in as an admin user. ---

sorry for the late reply rick, yes I’m logged in as admin. In OH2.5 the HabPanel can be edit by the dashboard gearicon. ![grafik](https://community-openhab-org.s3.dualstack.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/original/3X/b/c/bc652be5ea9f9a6fc8b0c5721d4fffc8265e58ff.png). In OH3 it cannot be configured, see my previous screenshot above. Super strange, do I need something to install? ---

I found this post early on in my searches and was similarly stuck. After some time I ran across this [post](https://community.openhab.org/t/no-habpanel-for-oh3-because-its-behind-auth/110155/7) and it actually has the missing piece related to the `config` part of habpanel. My use case is an `iframe` wtih embedded openhab on ever changing browsers and non-persistent cache. This solved the problem of having a default configuration to pull down from the server without authorization (signing in). ---

Hey - old post but my solution to this was found here: [openHAB 3 – HABPanel – set Default – Just Troubleshoot IT](https://nimdati.com/2021/01/08/openhab-3-habpanel-set-default/) ---
