Basic structure of domains

In simple terms, a domain combines users and zones.

In concrete terms, this means that an object zone is always assigned to a domain. This is not necessarily the case for users and template zones. You can assign users and template zones to a domain. However, you can also assign the "Public" property, i.e. not bound to a domain, to these two.

Beispiel

In the example, "Public user 2" is not assigned to any of the 3 domains, while "User 1" is assigned to "Domain X". The template zone "VZ 1" is also not assigned to any domain here, while "VZ 2" is assigned to "Domain Y".

This optional assignment has the following effects on users and template zones.

Users and domains

• Userswho are not assigned to a domain can never be connected to object zones, as there are no public object zones. These users only see their desktop. It therefore only makes sense for pure administration users to create these publicly.
• Userswho are assigned to a domain can be connected to all object zones that are assigned to this domain. In addition, they can also be connected to the interface zones of any existing "child domains". Read the following sections Interface zones and Hierarchy of domains.

Template zones and domains

• Template zonesthat are not assigned to a domain can be connected to all users that exist in the entire system. The user's domain is irrelevant.
• Template zonesthat are assigned to a domain can only be connected to users that exist in the same domain as the zone itself.
