Link Groups
Link Groups is a standard tree configuration interface to support the concept of associating Links together and can be used for navigation purposes. Hierarchies of Link Groups can be created through the establishment of parent and children groups. At the top level of the hierarchy, there is a single group (Root) which contains several subgroups of links. Additional child groups can be created within each subgroup to categorize links within groups, thus creating a hierarchical structure.
Note:
Unified Assurance supports non-mutually exclusive groupings of Links. One link can belong to multiple Link Groups.
Refer to the Standard Tree Configuration Interface guide for details on interacting with the grid and form.
This user interface calls REST methods from api/link/linkGroups.
The UI path for this interface is Configuration -> Links -> Link Groups.
Form Fields
-
Name - The name of the Link Group.
-
Links - Displays all of the links that are in the group.
-
Remove from other groups - If checked, any links added to the group will be removed from other groups.
Best Practices
- Link Groups are essential to multi-tenancy in that a User Group can be associated with a Restrictive Link Group. Then, any User in the User Group will have access only to the Links in the group. Any link in children Link Groups under the selected restricted Link Group will also be visible.
