Launching Applications​

Click to Launch​

Simply click on any application card to launch it.

What Happens​

For previously authorized apps:

  1. Click the app
  2. Briefly redirected through S-Auth
  3. Automatically logged into the app
  4. No consent screen!

For new apps:

  1. Click the app
  2. Redirected to S-Auth
  3. See consent screen showing requested permissions
  4. Click Allow to grant access
  5. Logged into the app

Understanding Badges​

Public Badge​

  • App is available to everyone in your organization
  • Appears in your Launchpad automatically
  • You may still need to consent on first use

Authorized Badge​

  • You've previously granted this app access
  • Will use silent authentication (no consent screen)
  • Your authorization is remembered

No Badge​

  • App requires consent
  • You'll see the permissions screen when launching

Managing Your Authorizations​

Viewing Authorized Apps​

All apps with the "Authorized" badge are ones you've previously granted access to.

Revoking Access​

Currently, revoking app access requires contacting an administrator. Future versions will include self-service revocation.

Troubleshooting​

"Application Not Found"​

The application may have been removed by an administrator. Contact your admin for help.

"Access Denied"​

Your account may not have permission to use this application. Check with your administrator.

Login Loop​

If you're stuck in a login loop:

  1. Clear your browser cookies for sebbyk.net
  2. Try again
  3. If it persists, contact an administrator

App Won't Launch​

  1. Check your internet connection
  2. Make sure the app is still available
  3. Try refreshing the Launchpad
  4. Contact an administrator if the problem continues

Tips​

Keyboard Navigation​

  • Tab - Move between application cards
  • Enter - Launch the selected application

Mobile Access​

The Launchpad works on mobile devices:

  • Responsive grid layout
  • Touch-friendly cards
  • Same SSO experience

Bookmarking Apps​

Instead of bookmarking individual apps, bookmark the Launchpad for easy access to everything.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Why don't I see certain apps?​

Apps only appear if they're either:

  • Marked as "Public" by an administrator
  • Previously authorized by you

How do I add a new app to my Launchpad?​

Ask an administrator to either:

  • Mark the app as public, or
  • Give you the direct URL to authorize it

Can I customize the order of apps?​

Not currently. Apps are sorted with authorized apps first, then public apps, all alphabetically.

Is my login shared across all apps?​

Yes! That's the point of Single Sign-On. One login gives you access to all your authorized applications.

How long does my session last?​

Your Launchpad session lasts 24 hours. Individual app sessions depend on their own settings.
