LMS Security Domains in 1 minute

Security Domains

Security domains are organized to reflect the structure of a company, whether by department, team, or geographic location.

Different departments or teams within an organization may have their own security domains, tailored to their specific data access needs and security requirements.

Similarly, regional branches can establish individual security domains to manage data and access to their locations.

Public Security Domain

The Public Security Domain is automatically added to every security domain group and cannot be removed. 

Any entities saved in the Public Security Domain are accessible to any administrator whose role allows them to work with those entities. 

Since the Learning Security Model dictates that all data should be stored in specific security domains with controlled access through security domain groups, administrators are advised not to use the Public Security Domain. 

Instead, they should always save entities in more appropriate security domains.

Security Domain Groups

A security domain group consists of one or more security domains that determine the locations where an administrator can exercise their permissions.

For example, a group called Europe-All may include countries such as France, the UK, and Germany. When this group is linked to the permissions associated with a user role, it restricts the administrator to performing those permissions only within the specified European security domains.
