Programmatically Add Gadget for User

Is there a way to programmatically add a Gadget (and/or Tab) to a user's Dashboard? I'd like all users to have a custom Gadget pre-added when they log in.

Similarly, is there a way to prevent a Gadget from being uninstalled?

Ended up finding the answer myself! Here's an example from the Online Center Developer Docs:

<episerver.shell>
  <dashboard>
    <templates>
      <add forRoles="Administrators, OtherRole">
        <tabs>
          <add name="Default" layout="3 Column">
            <gadgets>
              <add column="0" name="EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Controllers.QuickLinksController" />
            </gadgets>
          </add>
        </tabs>
      </add>
    </templates>
  </dashboard>
</episerver.shell>
