Logical domains enable communities of users and some content to be partitioned within a single instance of PeopleFluent Learning. Domain-specific content includes email templates, enrollment policies, repository files, courses, catalogs, and user groups. 

Logical domains define a number of properties, common to all users in a domain. These include the default System Administrator user, default new user profile, skin and primary language. 

The LMS ships with the Global Default logical domain, to which all users belong until they are assigned to an alternative domain. 

Domains have a one-to-one relationship with organizations: only one organization can be assigned to a domain, and different domains cannot be assigned the same organization. 

System administrators can:

• Create logical domains
• Move users between domains
• Move organization branches between domains
• Delete logical domains

You can create new logical domains only if the Multiple Assignments feature is disabled in System Configuration. Multiple Assignments allows users to have multiple jobs, organizations, roles and other assignment details. (Likewise, multiple assignments can be enabled only if there is one logical domain; these two features are mutually exclusive.) 

Deleting a logical domain re-assigns its users, and its domain-specific content, to the Global Default domain. 

User administrators who are not in the Global Domain can upload user data via the User Data Loader only to their client domain. 

When administrators who are not in the Global Domain create new users in the User Editor or via the User Data Loader, the new user's organization defaults to that of the administrator; their language and skin default to those assigned to the domain the organization is assigned to. New users can be assigned to other organizations (and therefore domains) but their language and skin must be updated manually. 

To manage logical domains, go to Manage Center > System > Logical Domains.
