Dash Widget Manager

This plugin allows you to do the following:
1. Hide dashboard widgets from non admin users.
2. Hide core and plugin update messages.

1. Extract the downloaded Zip file.
2. Upload the ‘dash-widget-manager’ directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4. Go to the admin dashboard and use the new widget to manage your dashboard widgets.

Does this plugin interrupt the wordpress update checks?

No. It only hides the messages that appear letting you know an update is available. For the core message the alert function is overridden and it is never printed to the page. For the plugin updates CSS is used to merely hide them.
