Set up self-hosted server services at the push of a button
User Portal
Once you have completed all the settings and finished installing the desired server services, you can log out from the YunoHost management interface. The users created by the administrator are then given access to the services via the user portal (Figure 8). Depending on the rights the administrator has granted for access to the different applications when creating each user in YunoHost, the portal will contain different tiles, each one representing a service.
Because the server works with LDAP/SSO-based authentication, you will not typically need to log in separately when calling the individual applications after logging in to YunoHost. You can switch between the individual tools, just like with conventional desktop applications.
On the other hand, the user's own configuration options in the user portal are limited. After clicking on the respective avatar in the portal, the user is taken to a dialog that only lets them edit their name, password, email address, and email forwarding address.
Conclusions
YunoHost helps even less experienced users build a working server environment without wasting time. The system makes creating and managing users an easy and intuitive process, while the large number of available applications leaves little to be desired. Thanks to single sign-on via the user portal, users can switch between applications without having to log on again. This makes YunoHost an excellent choice for smaller workgroups that want to use collaborative services.
