# Matrix Home Server

The **Matrix Home Server** is the server infrastructure that hosts user accounts and manages data within the Matrix ecosystem for the [[universitat-greifswald]].

At the university, the home server is located at `matrix.uni-greifswald.de`. It acts as the central point for authentication and identity management for university members using the [[matrix]] protocol. Access to this server is restricted to users who have provided the required consent via the [[ums]] and authenticate through [[shibboleth]].
