ORCS Web's Control Panel: IIS Management

I want to brag about our team a bit here. Now only do they excel at serving and supporting our clients on a daily basis, but the tools they have created to enhance the customer experience are exceptional! For example, the control panel they developed is not only highly functional, but is incredibly usable. The product isn't new - it has been in production for quite a while now. Something I saw recently though (a Plesk ad I believe) reminded me just how great of a job they've done though. So I want to give a public kudos. A number of people are continually involved in enhancing our services, but for the control panel specifically, our lead developer Brent certainly gets credit for writing some really high quality code. About the entire team assisted with usability feedback and testing - without which, the end-result wouldn't be nearly as great.

One part I particularly like is the IIS management interface. You can browse your site folders and files then right-click (yes, right-click in the web browser) to bring up some additional options - very similar to Window's functionality and easy for users to understand. Here is that interface:

Selecting "Properties" lets you manage the IIS settings of the folder selected (you can also manage these settings on the root). From here you can do just about anything that IIS allows you to do - adjust security, change default documents, manage mime types, etc...

Here are a couple additional screen shots:

Great job team! Based on customer feedback, I know this tool is greatly appreciated!
