Plugin features
Create sites network
Major functionality of plugin is to create sites network (network of osclass installations) where plugin helps you to navigate across these sites without need to login to each site specifically.
You just login to one and then to any site you navigate, you get automatically logged-in.
"master" site
In network, you can only define one "master" site that will hold information about all sites in network. When other sites need information about network, it will ping "master" site and receive up-to-date list with all sites in network and their status.
When you select "master" site, this site will get master key used as authentication and verification method across all sites. This key must be copied to all slave sites so they can listen communication from master.
When list of sites on master is updated, master send this information to slave sites automatically.
"Slave" site
Other sites in network must be all "slave" sites. Slave site does not hold information about other sites in network (in database), but it keeps list up-to-date by checking regularly info in master.
Each slave site has api key that identifies slave site in sites network and also, besides master key, authenticate on master site.
Regular status check
Besides instant updates of slave site when master is updated, all sites will try to get information about other sites in network regularly, on daily base.
This helps to keep all sites up and identify possible troubles with other sites in network.

Admin can easily switch current Osclass site by hitting sites button at top toolbar and jump on another Osclass site into same location (path) as you were on previous site.
Mark/identify each site in network
It is possible to assign each site it's color that is used in backoffice to help identify on what site you are currently logged in.
