Application access tree

Description

Soffid allows administrator users to create new entry points to the information systems. These entry points can be URLs or applications that can give access to information systems that have been registered in Soffid. These entry points are managed in a tree structure that allows to create new menus and new application access.

Each application entry point can have a single sign-on rules. Those roles are fully explained at SSO reference guide &&TODO&& Esta en confluence, ¿hay que mantener?

CONFLUENCE: ????After logging on a managed workstation, the system will apply such restrictions and will update the Windows or Linux start menu.

Each application entry point will have different execution methods for full managed workstation, loosely managed workstation, or external devices. Each of them can be a web browser URL or a javascript piece.
