Square 1!

Hi, I’m trying to get SuiteCRM to display in a similar manner to my previous app. How can I alter the way a dashlet displays? For example, if you looked at the main display and, say, split the screen into 4 quadrants, In the top l/h quadrant you had all the fields for the Account you are currently displaying, then in the top r/h quadrant you have all the Contacts for that account, and then across the bottom l/h & r/h quadrants you had all the ancillary information about the Account. Do I need to be an administrator to change how this Account and Contact info is displayed or can I alter it just as a user?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Regards
Ron
