Identity Topology Idea

Providing a topological view of identity entities (domains, projects, groups, users and roles) aims openstack users to have a bird-eye-view of how identity is structured in their cloud. With Domains, Projects, Users, Groups and Roles, understanding the organization and relationship of these ideas can be difficult. So, to easily disposed of any complexity out of identity service, we should create a more graphic depiction of these relationships in a topological view something strongly like currently implemented network-topology canvas.

Identity Topology UX Design

At openstack invision identity topology project , several different types of topology wireframes has been drawn:

  • SVG based canvas (This layout has been deprecated from horizon)
  • Bootstrap based canvas
  • Network topology based canvas (Forced graph)

The following three consecutive figures show these three types of different identity topology drawings:

Bootstrap based canvas

Forced Graph canvas

The following table shows advantages and disadvantages of each types of canvas types:

Canvas Type Advantages Disadvantages
SVG Based --- This layout has been deprecated from horizon.
Bootstrap Based 1- Theme-ability 2- Clean interface ---
Forced Graph Awesome Vervy Complex Layout
