When the left rail is expanded, it displays the following options:

All the remaining navigation links, Admin included, are grouped in the More category. If you are an admin, the Admin section contains tools and controls for configuring and managing the platform according to your organization's needs.
-
The Home page serves as the landing page for users after they log in. It is designed to provide a personalized experience based on your role within the organization and the services provisioned in the tenants you have access to.
For example, citizen developers see their automations, apps, job run history, pending actions, and automation ideas. As an administrator or a user with a non-Citizen Developer license, you can quickly access your Orchestrator services and see metrics on license consumption and distribution.
The Organization Administrator role gives you full View permissions for the Home page.
Users with the User role do not have View permissions on the follwing widgets on the Home page: usage trend and distribution of licenses.
The Home page is customized to cater to different user personas within your organization. Each user persona is associated with specific widgets that provide relevant information and functionalities. Below is a mapping table that illustrates the widgets available for each user persona:
