What are approved domains?

When a text List property or Metric is set to render as an image, a url is used that points to the image.  Pigment requires that the URL for that image be from a domain that has been approved by a Security Admin.  

How to identify a domain

Start with the URL you want to analyze. Let's use the URL https://www.example.com/path/page.html as an example.

Remove the protocol, for example  https:// from the URL, if present. This part is not part of the domain.

Locate the first / after the protocol. Everything before this slash is part of the main domain. If there is no slash after the protocol, the entire remaining portion is part of the main domain.

The portion before the first / is the main domain. In this case, www.example.com is the main domain.

Here are a few more examples:

URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=query

Main Domain: google.com

URL: https://blog.example.net/category/article

Main Domain: example.net

URL: http://sub.sub.example.org

Main Domain: example.org
