Introduction
As at 1.12.8 we have introduced the Connections endpoint.
NOTE - Page under revision for v2.0.
How Does it Work?
This endpoint enables you to add the connections that are part of your network infrastructure, it allows you to customize a variety of attributes, specify where this connection is located and the organization that it belongs.
Creating a Connection
A connection can be created using the web interface if a user has a role that contains the connection::create permission. Go to menu: Manage -> Resources -> Connections -> Create . There is also a create button on the collection pageConnection. Also can be created from the Connection View, using the "Create" button.
View Connection Details
Go to menu -> Admin : Manage-> Connections -> List Connections.

Database Schema
The schema for the database is below. It can also be found in the application is the user has database::read permission by going to menu -> Admin Manage -> Database -> List Database, then clicking on the groups table.
