Make apps in the dashboard hideable

[subven]

I want to be able to hide apps in the dashboard for users that have no administrator rights for said app.

My use case is pretty common:

• unclutter the dashboard from app icons that are not necessary for the user (like Matrix server)
• I use SSO only and for some apps (like Vaultwarden) I use a external link so I can link directly to something like https://domain.com/#/sso?identifier=login I have to hide the original app so users only use my custom link.

My current hack is to remove the app icon and rename the app to "-" but it looks ugly

The feature request is legit.
However, it might be a bit "overkill", but you could use a "light" second server, which sole purpose is to serve the desired dashboard to your users.
Server A = Your application server with all your applications
Server B = Dashboard server

Server B's directory is synced with server A
Server B's app tiles are just app link apps which redirect to apps from server A as you wish.

Can you not just use “access control” to hide the app in the user’s dashboard and use the link you mentioned ?

@timconsidine app access is granted via Cloudrons SSO so the user has to have "access" to said app. It's already granted via Cloudron groups so every user just sees the apps he is supposed to use. But not every of these apps should be displayed in the Cloudron dashboard.

@teiluj I could use any other landing page then. My obvious follow up feature request would be the ability to be redirected to another page after logging into Cloudron. You also have to keep in mind that app access can be individual per user so it's not solved by having a single dashboard you can fully control. I would rather have a cleaner Cloudron dashboard than another dashboard somewhere else.

@subven I defer to you. I recall some other posts that all it did was toggle visibility, not actually control access. It’s a bad field name. But I haven’t tested (on the road) and it may have changed, or I might just be plain and simple wrong.

@timconsidine you can toggle visibillity for apps that have their own user management. If you use an SSO app, there is "user management" which manages access (and therefore an visible dashboard icon) but "dashboard visibility" is missing from the menu. Its well explained in the documentation.

I guess what you could do is remove access for an user (within Cloudron), put the user inside a group X that has no access to said app and set up SSO manually within the app to grant access to users within group X.

Basically, I want the "dashboard visibility" options to be available for all apps. To not make Cloudrons UI confusing, a "Hide for non admins/operators" checkbox would be fine.
