This article describes the concept domains that is used in Smart ID Certificate Manager (CM) and lists the related tasks.

Domains allow grouping of objects in CM, for example, to separate hosted tenants in the system by use of access rights per domain, or to group geographically separated regions. Domains are hierarchical and the top domain is called Root.

In general, officers can only manipulate objects that belong to their own domain or sub domain. Super objects can be used and viewed, but not modified, if they are marked as visible in sub domain.

If an object does not have a domain association, it belongs to the Root and it can be referenced from all domains.

The domain tasks are done in Administrator's workbench (AWB).
