GFPlatform sits in front of GFToolkit as a secure multi-user dashboard, so a shared lab deployment stays organized and private per person.
Clicking "Launch GFToolkit" while signed in carries a short-lived, cryptographically signed token — GFToolkit only trusts an identity GFPlatform actually issued, not one typed into the address bar.
The file browser only ever shows the shared reference-genome library and your own output directory — never another user's files or the wider filesystem.
Every run launched from your account is attributed to you and shows up on your dashboard — created time, status, and steps, at a glance.
Lab admins get a live world-map heatmap of access by country, recent request logs, and full visibility into every queued or running job.
