In the language of authentication, FusionAuth is an identity provider (IdP) and your applications and websites are the service providers (SPs). One way to authenticate a user from a central dashboard is to use an IdP-initiated login. In other words, the dashboard will log the user in, and then redirect them to the selected app. In short, a service provider application will receive a login that it didn't initiate itself. This has security implications.

This guide will demonstrate a simpler and safer way to authenticate users from a central dashboard by making each application link in the dashboard point to the application's login page. From that point onward, authentication follows the standard OAuth Authorization Code Flow.
This guide will demonstrate a simpler and safer way to authenticate users from a central dashboard by making each application link in the dashboard point to the application's login page. From that point onward, authentication follows the standard OAuth Authorization Code grant.

The next section of this guide will show you how to make a dashboard for two existing FusionAuth applications in the same tenant. All this requires is customizing the theme for the index landing page of the FusionAuth site. The guide will first show you how to install FusionAuth and make two simple web applications. If you already have a FusionAuth installation with existing applications, you can skip ahead to [the section that creates the dashboard](#make-a-dashboard).
