confusion about whitelist and embeddings

[antipop]

I think these two questions may be related. Firstly, on the Embeddings tab there is an option to "Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too", which I think refers back to the checkbox options 'above' the sentence, not those right 'after' it. If so, why would I designate a particular site as whitelisted if I then would want to turn around and put these restrictions on it? What does NoScript do when I whitelist a site if not in fact lift these restrictions from it?

Secondly, on the Appearance tab there is a middle section showing two groups of options with three on left and three on right. Do I understand correctly that, for example, I could use the first checkbox option in the first group, namely, "Allow [...]", in conjunction with any combination of the options in the second group, i.e., those on the left, in such a way as to, for example, have an effect like this:

Allow Full Domains

Stated differently, what would be the effect if I checked nothing in either of these two groups except for the "Full Domains" option?


As a particular site in question, when I go to this site, https://social.technet.microsoft.com/ , when I right-click for the NoScript context menu, I can see options to "temporarily allow 'microsoft.com'" and "temporarily allow 'technet.microsoft.com'." So why is there not also showing the option to "temporarily allow 'social.technet.microsoft.com'", so that I can pinpoint more precisely which site I want to permit temporarily?

Javascript will be allowed but whatever you've got checked above that checkbox would still be blocked.

I think that would remove all NoScript interface for setting permissions through the menu.

You want to check the "Full Domains" box.
