Logical Domains

The Logical Domain and Multiple Assignments features are mutually exclusive.  You can't create logical domains if the multiple assignments feature is enabled. Conversely, multiple assignments can't be enabled if there is more than one logical domain.

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 main reason to have separate logical domains is to ensure that users in one domain do not see users in a different domain. Users in the Global Default domain may see all other organizations and users in the LMS, constrained only by permissions settings. Separate client domains, however, are automatically restricted to user management within that domain, and by default cannot see or be seen by users in other client domains. In most pages where users are displayed or selected, the list is restricted to same domain membership.

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. New child organization units are automatically assigned to the logical domain of their parent organization. New users are automatically assigned the domain of the organizational unit they belong to. Moving an organization unit to another parent organization unit removes it from its original domain and reassigns it to the domain of its new parent. Child-organizations and users are re-tagged automatically. Content (such as email templates) is not automatically re-tagged, although deleting a domain will cause all items to be reassigned to the Global Default domain.

Your role must have unrestricted access to the System Administration feature to manage logical domains.

Create a Logical Domain

We recommend selecting the System User, System Approver and Default Profile from within the domain. Although this is not enforced, it will make general system behavior simpler to manage.
  1. Go to Manage Center > System > General Settings > Logical Domains.
  2. Click + Create New Domain.
  3. Enter the details for the new domain. The table below contains guidance for each available field:
FieldDescription
Logical DomainEnter a unique name.
OrganizationSelect the organization unit to assign to the logical domain.
CommentsEnter any text, comments or description.
Default System UserDefaults to your system administrator.  Click the X link to remove the current user and then click the browse icon to select another user.  A logical domain can have only one default system user.
Default System ApproverDefaults to your system administrator.  Click the X link to remove the current user and then click the browse icon to select another user.  A logical domain can have only one default system approver.
Feedback Address

Enter an email address or feedback form URL where domain members can contact the default system approver. A feedback address entered here takes precedence over a feedback address entered for an organization assigned to the domain.

Entering a feedback address enables the Contact Us link in the avatar menu of users in the logical domain.

LanguageSelect the primary language for the domain from the drop-down list.
Interface Look and FeelSelect the default skin for the domain.
Workflow TemplateSelect an assessment workflow template.  A workflow template selected for a logical domain takes precedence over a template selected for an organization assigned to that domain.
Allow users in the domain to see users from other domainsTo allow users in this domain to see records of users in other domains, click the checkbox.  This enables the separate domain configuration without the record restrictions.
Allow users in this domain to see e-mail templates from other domainsTo allow users to see the email templates of users in other domains, click the checkbox.
  1. Click Save.

Delete a Logical Domain

  1. On the Logical Domains page, click the name of the logical domain you want to delete.
  2. Click the Delete button.
  3. Click OK.

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