Display ACL Rules in the form of a excel like table

• Currently the UI for ACL Rules is in a 2x4 Column
• It makes it hard to scan and read.
• Also, depending on the input, the columns can be hidden/shown. Which makes it even harder to read as every rule can have a different arrangement.

EXPECTED RESULTS

To be able to manage ACL Rules more easily for large scale projects

ACTUAL RESULTS

Challenging to use ACL rules for large scale projects.

Would a ListView do @btzq ? Like the one for vm or volume lists.

@DaanHoogland the ListView in VM or Volume lists would work perfectly actually.

The only issue i can think of is the scenario that there would be too many colums. In that scenario, we should allow the user to scroll sideways. Otherwise they would have to resize the browser to 50% or get a widescreen to view it.

that, and, in a related issue you'd want the tags to be visible in the list, as these are in it self a list this would complicate the work a bit. Still possible, but with a search for tags available , maybe not worth the trouble.

If we're talking about prioritisation, whats more important is:

1. Having the UI displayed in a table
2. Having Description inside the row

If we have description, then tags become less important to us, and we can work with it in the long run.
