Hi,Just wondering what's the difference between domain and role. When do you create a new domain, and when do you add a new role instead?Thanks,Yi
Domains are completely separate from one another. They don't share any profile information. They can have different authentication schemes, administrators, etc.
A role within a domain shares everything that has been defined at the domain level with all other roles in the same domain.
Use a separate domain when the user population is completely different or when you need to have separate administrators. Note that the administration overhead of separate domains is higher that than of seperate roles in the one domain.
