Panel Name fwAccessControl/fwAccessControl_DomainList.pnl
Introduction

List of domains

This panel displays the list of domains defined in the system, and allows to inspect their details, modify, create and delete domains (depending on the access rights).

The panel has two modes of operation: edit mode, presented in Figure 1, and view mode, presented in Figure 2.

Figure 1: The Domain List panel in edit mode
Figure 2: The Domain List panel in view mode
In the view mode, only inspection of domains is possible (only View button is available in Figure 2), whereas in the edit mode, it is possible to add, delete and modify domains (Add,Delete, Edit buttons visible on Figure 1).

The mode of operation is determined by the privileges of the user:

  • if current user has no Domain Administration privilege (see the Setup panel), the mode is set to view.
  • otherwise, if current user has Domain Administration privilege, the mode is set to edit.

The panel allows to filter the names of displayed domains: in Figure 1, the Filter field is empty, and all defined domains are displayed in the panel. In Figure 2, however, the Filter was set to *Infrastructure*, and only the domains the names (or full names) of which match the expression, are displayed. The wildcard character, * (asterisk) may be used in the filter expression to stand for any string of characters. The filter is not case-sensitive, e.g. the Abc* filter expression would match names (or full names) such as ABC, aBcDe, etc.
