Admin Web

The Admin Web is an IIS-hosted ASP.NET MVC web application that enables configuration and management of a world operator's network. In addition to its own Layer One management tools, the admin web provides an extensible platform onto which Layer Two components can build their own management tools. It is a part of Layer One of the virtual world web infrastructure.

Responsibilities

The main purpose of the Admin Web is system configuration and world operations (WorldOps).

System Configuration

The Admin Web provides configuration pages for all Woldspace and Entities, as well as for basic system settings and security. See Introduction to the Admin for more.

World Operations

In the process of running your world, your support and "World Operations" staff will have many tasks to preform to keep things running smoothly. Setting permissions, placing people in groups, transferring content from staging environments to production, are all done through the Admin Web. In addition, components offer configuration and management pages for their features.

Component Host

The Admin Web loads all Layer Two Components and allows them to extend the infrastructure-provided worldspace config pages. Components can also add their own areas and pages to allow configuration and management of their features. See the Component Programming Guide for more on components.
