Sign in once at the company domain and land on a home screen of exactly the apps you're assigned — no more, no less. A nine-dot app switcher rides along inside every app, so the whole suite feels like one product instead of a bookmark folder.
The Hub lives inside SynergyAuth — a deliberate choice, because the sign-in service already knows every person and every registered app. There's no second system to keep in sync: the moment you finish signing in (and proving it's really you), you're on your launcher.
The Hub isn't a links page; it's where access control becomes visible. Every app is either open to all signed-in users or limited to the people who've been explicitly granted it — and the launcher shows each person only their side of that line.
Collaboration staples — boards, drive, meetings, signatures — appear for every signed-in user automatically, with no per-user administration.
Sensitive apps are grant-only. Accounting is finance-only; the executive portal is executives-only. If you're not on the list, the tile simply doesn't exist for you.
Proven with real accounts: a full-access user sees seven apps, a standard user sees five — and the restricted finance and executive tiles are correctly absent, not just hidden.
One list, every surface. Because the launcher, the switcher, and the access grants all read the same master list, revoking someone's access to accounting removes it from their front door and their in-app switcher at the same instant.
Every Synergy app carries the familiar nine-dot button. Click it and a dropdown shows the apps you're assigned — the same grid as the launcher, filtered to you — and one click moves you between products without signing in again.
The engineering behind it is the platform thesis in miniature. The switcher is built in — added once at the platform level, so every app picks it up with zero changes to the app itself and keeps it through every update. And because the whole suite lives on one shared site, your sign-in simply follows you from app to app — no fragile plumbing, and none of the browser changes that keep breaking bolt-on portal products.
Security wasn't traded for convenience: only the switcher itself can appear inside other pages, and only on the platform's own sites — the sign-in pages can never be embedded anywhere, so the tricks attackers use to fake a login screen stay blocked.
Okta's dashboard is a separate portal you visit; Google's nine-dot switcher only works because Google owns every app behind it. Synergy owns every app behind its switcher too — which turns a flagship-vendor feature into one line of setup.
