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
- VID, Policy, AAI UI, SDC applications require Portal to be up to be accessible to the end user as these applications contact Portal to retrieve roles of the user who is logging in.
- VID, Policy, Portal are built completely on Portal SDK platform which promotes Rapid Application Development and encapsulates Rich UI templates, Security, Logging, communication with AAF/Portal, Transaction Management, Access Management, Reporting etc
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
