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
Section titled “Who sees what”Users without the administrator role see only the Dashboard and their own 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 only.
The menu
Section titled “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.
Collapsed, the menu shows only icons. Hover over one to see its name. Select the same button to expand the menu again.
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.
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 choice is remembered in this browser. A node opened through your fleet keeps its own choice, apart from the fleet’s.
