Content UI Overview

The Content UI offers a visual representation of the cluster, organized by tenants, domains, collections, and buckets. Depending on the level of the login credentials (Root, Tenant, or Domain) and the access policy in force, the Content UI displays only the information authorized; for example, domain-level users can at most view, add, or update buckets and bucket contents.

What it Does: The Content UI layers on top of Gateway to provide a browser interface (which even your end users can access) for these key tasks:

  • Creating tenants, domains, and buckets

  • Uploading, downloading, listing, and sharing content

  • Searching and filtering content by context (domain, bucket) and metadata (name, size, owner, type, date of creation or last access, custom metadata)

  • (Optional) Create new standalone video clips from uploaded videos (also known as partial file restore)

Optional

This step is optional.

Controlling Access: This diagram shows the hierarchy of the scopes (cluster, tenant, domain, bucket) across Gateway and your Swarm Storage cluster:

It is like nesting dolls: A cluster can contain multiple tenants; tenants can each contain multiple storage domains; storage domains are known to Swarm and are where content is stored.

Swarm defines the role of owner. Role-based access control (RBAC) definitions of varying complexity can be created as required for the organization using Gateway's access control policies. Note: the Cluster, Tenant, Domain, and Bucket "admins" shown in the diagram above are typical roles, but are not required or hard-coded into the system.
