Dashboard - but for users

I host some services and now start to slowly let family and friends use some of those services. for myself i have a dashboard (Heimdall, just because it worked nicely first try and I didn't bother looking at others) and I want to also have one for other users. Now I imagine something like that:

User authenticates in authelia, which passes username in the header to the dashboard.
in the dashboard, the user gets presented with a, yeah, dashboard, with all the services he/she has access to. no login necessary. -no resources are shown to a user, that this user has no access to.

any ideas which dashboard could be utilized to do something like that, without hosting multiple instances or preconfiguring all dashboards for all users?

Try Organizr. You can set a role hierarchy and assign which levels have access to which tabs. Works with Authelia in front handling auth.
- Yeah, I started with Heimdall, tried a couple others and then found organizr and stuck with that for ages now.
  
  I have Organizr up but honestly barely use it. I use Jump for guests and Homepage for myself.
- I just played around a little, and even got it playing nice with authelia quick. But I find it to loaded for me. No bad, it's looking awesome, but I really just want a few nice looking bookmarks for when the wife forgets what that one service was called again ;)
  
  I'd recommend using a separate dashboard for her, tbh. Jump is a really nice landing page.
Wow I hadn't even thought of custom dashboards for each user. I use Homepage for my internal dashboard, and Homarr for users. It's got a nice, simple interface with big buttons
- Would be nice if each user could add their own bookmarks so they could use the dashboard as new tab default.
Fenrus can be setup with different user dashboards and even a guest (no login) dashboard. Not sure about Authelia support though

Edit for link to project: https://github.com/revenz/Fenrus
- I tried fenrus before, kinda liked it, but I remember it to be not so performant.
The Authentik dashboard does this. It's light on customization but I understand it has custom CSS support.
- I had authentik before but I found it to be unnecessarily complicated. Its really a nice one stop shop, doing authentication, authorization, even reverse proxing, but the setup/UI is just ... Not very well designed. Or it's so advanced that it's very far from the no it background hobbyist user
