# Approved Domains for Images

This article discusses how to approve domains so that URLs related to that domain can be used to display images in Grids and in an Org Chart.

## What are approved domains?

### 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 | Main Domain |
| --- | --- |
| https://blog.example.net/category/article | example.net |
| http://sub.sub.example.org | example.org |
