Looking for a simple self hosted Dashboard, CMS or something that
allows users to login and what they see is customized to their login.

I would like to build a very simple self hosted website that when
users navigate to, they are greeted with a login page. Once logged in
they see a list of applications available to them. What they see would
be custom to their login. This way I can give one set of friends
access to one set of applications that I self host, family access to
another set and a different group of friends something else. What
program would you recommend to do this?

At first I was thinking WordPress but it seems to require paid plugins
to do this. Then I found Organizr but it seems to be too much for my
user base. I'm looking for dead simple. Login see a list of icons in a
nice format. Click icon. Takes you to the service I am self hosting. I
feel like this shouldn't be that hard. Am I missing something? Bonus
points if it can integrate with Plex's login system so they don't have
to make another account.

Look at personal dashboards that have user accounts, check the awesome
selfhosted list in the subreddit sidebar.

It depends on how much control and prettiness you want.
I use homepage for myself but use Authentik for anyone else.
Authentik is an authentication & authorization provider. But logged in
users will see which applications they have access to and can navigate
to them.

Wait logged in users can see what they have access to? I did not
realize Authentik could do that. Would you mind sharing a screenshot
so I can see how it would look?

Yeah, I'm on my phone right now so sadly showing screenshots is
difficult to do. However
https://goauthentik.io/docs/applications#authorization
if you implement this. So setting a policy (I tend to set a group to
have access) will ensure the actual Auth provider will only allow
those users.
And it'll hide the applications from users not matching that policy.

For me would show Proxmox and Portainer. But anyone else would not see
it as only I have access

I'll have to give setting this up a shot. This might be exactly what
I'm looking for.
