receiving a selection of an artifact attribute from among the set of artifact attributes; and

sorting the set of artifacts in the graphical user interface based on the selection of the artifact attribute.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the composite graphical user interface includes a search field, and the instructions cause the system to perform operations further comprising:

receiving a search request;

removing at least some artifacts from the set of artifacts within the graphical user interface, based on the search request;

receiving a selection of a first artifact from among the set of artifacts remaining; and

retrieving a first data object associated with the first artifact based on the first artifact.

7. The system of claim 4 , wherein the instructions cause the system to perform operations further comprising:

receiving a selection of the artifact via the composite graphical user interface;

invoking the application in response to receiving the selection of the artifact; and

presenting the data object within the composite graphical user interface, based on the artifact.

8. The system of claim 4 , wherein the client device includes an associated user identifier, the artifact includes user access permissions, and the instructions cause the system to perform operations further comprising:

receiving a selection of the artifact from the client device;

querying a permission system to determine a user permission associated with the client device based on the user identifier and the user access permissions; and

presenting a portion of the content based on the user permission.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the composite graphical user interface includes:

a sidebar within a portion of the composite graphical user interface, the sidebar including a graphical elements associated with the application; and

a presentation of the set of interface elements of the application.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein client device includes an associated user identifier, and the instructions cause the system to perform operations further comprising:

assigning the first composite graphical user interface to the user identifier associated with the client device, based on an assignment request;

receiving a login request from the client device, the login request including the user identifier; and

presenting the composite graphical user interface at the client device.

11. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

receiving a reference to application data of an application, wherein the application data includes an interface of the application, a data type associated with the application, an application identifier, and a data object, the data object comprising metadata;

instructing a client device to generate a composite graphical user interface, based on the application data;
