# User Domains Documentation

## Background

#### **What Are Domains?**

* A LILT Domain defines a working group within your LILT organization. Each Domain specifies the translation environment available to the domain members.

#### **Benefits of Domains**

* Simplified User Experience: Users in a Domain can access only the language data and models selected and the translation jobs created within that Domain.

* Enhanced Administrative Control: Administrators easily configure Domains to assign users, and choose the language models, file loaders, and translation preferences.

* Improved Data Privacy and Security: Domains can be configured to restrict access to sensitive data and maintain confidentiality between teams.

#### Considerations

* When setting up Domains, consider grouping users by departments, projects, or language needs.

* Clearly communicate Domain changes to your team to ensure a smooth transition.

## Steps to create a user Domain

1. **Required Step!** Make sure that `enableDomains` is enabled on your instance prior to uploading SRX. To learn more on how to enable it, follow to [Enable/Disable Features](/kb/enable-features)

2. Admins must enable Domains under a given user role in User Management
