Alfresco zones

All person and group nodes are in one or more zones. You can use zones for any partitioning of authorities. For example, Alfresco synchronization uses zones to record from which LDAP server users and groups have been synchronized. Zones are used to hide some groups that provide Role Based Access Control (RBAC) role-like functionality from the administration pages of the Alfresco Explorer and Alfresco Share web clients. Examples of hidden groups are the roles used in Alfresco Share. Only users and groups in the default zone are shown for normal group and user selection on the group administration pages. Zones cannot be managed from the administration pages of Alfresco Explorer and Alfresco Share.

Zones are intended to have a tree structure defined by naming convention. Zones are grouped into two areas: Application-related zones and authentication-related zones.

Within a zone, a group is considered to be a root group if it is not contained by another group in the same zone.

Alfresco uses a model for persisting people, groups, and zones. A Person node represents each person, and an AuthorityContainer represents groups, which can be used for other authority groupings such as roles. AuthorityContainer and Person are sub-classes of Authority and as such can be in any number of Zones.

We can have zones to create users/groups from different systems. Different systems can be from alfresco explorer,share ,ldap etc

In the node browser we can see the details in the link if we have integrated ldap1 as the subsystem
sys:system/sys:zones/cm:AUTH.EXT.ldap1
