1 High Level Component Definition and Architectural Relationships 




Portal is a GUI platform that provides the ability to integrate different ONAP platform GUIs into a centralized portal.

It provides:

  • The capability to allow other ONAP components to run within their own infrastructure while providing common management services and capabilities in a centralized way
  • Provides common capabilities such as application on-boarding and management, centralized access management and hosting application widgets, Context-Aware UIControls, Visualization & Reporting Engine
  • Provides SDK capabilities to access portal capabilities

Portal is used by:

  • VID, Policy, AAI, SDC, MSB and CLI

In addition to regular user, there are admin roles available for Portal to perform some administrative activities of Portal itself and the administration of on-boarded apps.

From the ONAP Portal, administrators:

  • access the same functionality accessible to users
  • manage users and application admins
  • onboard applications and widgets (developed using the Portal as a platform)
  • edit the functional menu
