Project Structure

This project includes two dashboard components:

• administrator dashboard

• user dashboard

The administrator dashboard extends the OpenStack Dashboard’s administrator interface by adding Share (short for Shared File Systems) functionality to manage Share and Share Group Types, Share servers and other administrator-only components of the Shared File System service. It also extends the functionality of the Identity service to allow controlling Shared File System service quotas.

The User dashboard provides all user facing functionality.
