# User Interface

Modern endpoint management thrives when users are empowered to solve their own needs through a frictionless, intuitive interface.

By providing a clear choice between the classic **RealmJoin Tray** and the comprehensive **Self-Service Portal**, we ensure that software deployments and system tools are always just a click away.

High adoption relies on this "self-service" philosophy; when a UI is both accessible and logical, it reduces IT overhead, minimizes downtime, and transforms complex backend configurations into a seamless, user-friendly experience.

This documentation section introduces the two primary ways users can interact with the RealmJoin environment.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Currently, the App Catalog within the Self Service Portal is only available for packages from managed subscriptions. Packages from basic subscriptions will be displayed but cannot be executed, as the App Catalog relies on managed package groups, which are not available in basic subscriptions.

We recommend using managed subscriptions in all cases. With support for nesting, dynamic groups, and a fully configurable automation workflow that can also be disabled, managed subscriptions can be operated entirely manually and treated the same way as legacy subscriptions.

For more details please refer to the [subscription documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/app-management/packages/package-deployment).
