# Management

> Managing a virgoOS node once setup is finished.

Source: https://docs.univrs.cloud/management/

Once setup is finished, you manage the node by signing in at the name you gave it during setup, for example `https://spica.virgo.univrs.cloud`.

## Who sees what

Users without the administrator role see only the **Dashboard** and their own [profile](https://docs.univrs.cloud/management/system/users/profile/). From the **Dashboard** they can open the apps that are gated by a node account, but each app still decides whether they get in.

Every other page in the menu is for [administrators](https://docs.univrs.cloud/management/system/users/#roles) only.

## The menu

The menu on the left lists every page you can open. On a computer screen, select the button at its bottom, above your name, to collapse it and leave more room for the page.

_The button that collapses the menu_

Collapsed, the menu shows only icons. Hover over one to see its name. Select the same button to expand the menu again.

_The collapsed menu_

The menu stays the way you left it in this browser. When it is longer than the screen, scroll it: a shadow at its top or bottom edge shows there is more in that direction.

## Theme

Open the account menu with your name to choose how the interface looks:

- **Auto:** follows your device's light or dark setting, and changes along with it.
- **Light** or **Dark:** stays the same whatever your device uses.

_The account menu_

The choice is remembered in this browser. A node opened [through your fleet](https://docs.univrs.cloud/management/authentication/#through-your-fleet) keeps its own choice, apart from the fleet's.
