Why user has two logins? Mailcow UI and Sogo webmail client?

sidekick

Hi all
Installed Mailcow for the first time and liking very much what I see. However, I’m a bit confused as to why email users need a separate login for settings and for mail.
I have to set up a mail server with a number of email accounts for two domains. The idea is that only admin has access to the Mailcow UI. Users only have access to the webmail client for their emails, calendars, etc. They must also be able to change their password via the webmail client (even if its at the login prompt).
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance.

That is not possible. Mailcow UI can be used by users to reset their passwords, and - very important - set App passwords and temporary mail addresses.
App passwords are needed for the client software, because if you enable 2FA (which you always should), you cannot use your login password anymore for client configuration!

If you let the user logon to mailcows UI, they can open SOGo with just one click from the first UI page, without needing to log in into SOGo again.
