Adding/Removing Resources from a Domain

This article explains the different ways you can add and remove resources from domains.

In order to make a resource available for users, you need to associate the resource to the users' domain. This will enable the users in that domain's groups to access and use this resource in CloudShell Portal.

Searching for resources to add to a domain​

To search for resources to add to a domain:

  1. In the Admin ribbon, click the Domains button to open the Domains pane.

  2. In the Domains pane, double-click a domain (or right-click a domain and select Open) to open the domain's tab.

  3. From the Page drop down list, select Resources.

  4. In the Resources page, click the Find Resources button to open the Resource Search window.

  5. Use the search criteria to help narrow down the list of resources and select the resources that you wish to add to the domain.

    Note that the search also returns excluded resources.

  6. Drag them into the domain's tab. If any of these resources have sub-resources, you'll be prompted to include them. Click Yes if you wish to add all resource's descendants as well.

Adding resources to a domain​

To add resources from Resource Explorer:

  • Drag resources and blueprints from Resource Explorer to the domain tab's Diagram page.

To add resources implicitly via a blueprint:

  • Use the domain tab's Properties>Topologies tab, to add a blueprint to the domain. Any resources within that blueprint are automatically added to the domain.

To associate multiple domains to a specific resource:

  1. Right-click the resource and select Configuration from the context menu.
  2. In the resource's Configuration tab, select the Domains tab.

  1. To allocate the resource to additional domains, click Add to open the Domains Selection window.

  1. Select one or more domains and click OK.

Removing resources from domains​

This section explains how to remove resources from domains in Resource Manager Client. Admins can also remove resources via the CloudShell Portal Inventory dashboard but this removes the resource entirely - see Deleting Resources from the Inventory.

To remove resources via the domain's Resources page:

  1. In the Domains pane, right-click a domain and select Open from the context menu to open the domain's tab.
  2. Open the Resources page from the Page drop down list.

  1. In the Resources page, select the resource that you wish to delete and click the Delete button. If the selected resource has descendants, they will be removed as well.

To remove resources via the domain's Diagram page:

  1. Click the Admin ribbon's Domains button to open the Domains pane.
  2. In the Domains pane, right-click a domain and select Open from the context menu to open the domain's tab.
  3. Open the Diagram page from the Page drop down list.
  4. In the Diagram page, select the resources and click the Remove button in the top left corner of the diagram.

To remove a specific resource from associated domains:

  1. Right-click the resource and select Configuration from the context menu.
  2. In the resource's Configuration tab, select the Domains tab.
