| === Domains |
| |
| Domains are built to facilitate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy[multitenancy^]. |
| |
| Domains allow the physical separation of all data managed by Apache Syncope, by storing the data for different domains |
| into different database instances. Therefore, Apache Syncope can facilitate Users, Groups, Any Objects, |
| External Resources, Policies, Tasks, etc. from different domains (e.g. tenants) in a single <<core,core>> instance. |
| |
| By default, a single `Master` domain is defined, which also bears the configuration for additional domains. |

| [TIP] |
| ==== |
| Each domain's persistence unit can be configured to work with one of the <<persistence,supported DBMSes>>: `Master` can be |
| on MySQL, `Domain1` on PostgreSQL, `DomainN` on Oracle and so on. |
