Adding Domains

Only system administrator users are allowed to create and modify domains. The Domains explorer and the domain tab's pages are not available for other users.

Designated system administrators have limited permissions for performing domain operations. A sys admin user can update resource allocation settings from within the resource's Configuration tab. Domain administrators can perform admin level operations within their domains.

To add a new domain:

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

  2. In the Domains explorer, click the New button to add a new domain.

  3. In the New Domain dialog box, enter the Domain Name.

  4. Add a short description of the domain. This step is optional but recommended.

  5. Click OK to add the new domain.

  6. Next, set up the domain, as explained in Domains Window.

Minimum Lead Time​

You can require sandboxes in a domain to be reserved ahead of time. When a domain has a minimum lead time:

  • Sandboxes can't be reserved to start immediately. The Now option isn't offered in the reservation dialog.
  • A sandbox's start time must be at least the minimum lead time from the moment it's reserved. This applies to reservations made from the Portal and through the API.

A value of 0 (the default) means no restriction.

To set the minimum lead time:

  1. In Resource Manager, open the domain and select the Properties page (see Domains Window).
  2. In Min. Lead Time, enter the number of minutes (0 to 525600) and press Enter.

You can also set it with the MinimumLeadTimeMinutes parameter of the Edit domain Admin REST API call.
