Important

What is visible in the Content UI is controlled and protected by access permissions. A Domain admin , for example, will is not be able to see anything (domains, tenants, clusters) outside of the domain that they are authorized to manage.

It takes them to the storage domain they logged into in to (the URL in the address bar); however, if the hostname is not a storage domain, then the user must go to the root level, even if the permissions do not allow them to list if the hostname is not a storage domain.
