The OA Portal uses a modular object/widget architecture. A library of ~150 reusable objects each know how to pull and display one specific type of data. Admins assign objects to users, groups, or roles. When a person logs in, the system looks up their assignments, merges them with role defaults, and renders a personalized dashboard with the right sidebar categories and widgets automatically populated with that person's data.

Which object permission levels can appear on which user role dashboards.
