FaxCore Domains & Hierarchy
FaxCore Evolution eV6 features a hierarchical domain architecture modeled after Microsoft Active Directory forests. Administrators can create root and child domains to represent business units, branches, or separate client companies in multi-tenant environments.
Configuration Precedence & Inheritance
Configuration values and permissions flow downward through the hierarchy, but can be overridden at lower levels:

- User Level: Settings explicitly configured on an individual user profile take the highest precedence.
- Domain Level: Inherited by users unless overridden at the user level.
- Server / Global Level: Serves as the system-wide baseline.
Creating a Domain
By default, FaxCore contains a root SYSTEM domain. To establish child domains:
- Click the top-left domain navigation selector (labeled SYSTEM). The domain panel will open:
- Right-click the parent domain in the hierarchy tree and click Create Domain.
- Enter the domain name and save. The new child domain immediately inherits the parent's baseline policies.
Modifying, Moving & Deleting Domains
Navigate to Domain Management > Domain Info.
- Rename: Right-click the domain and select Rename.
- Move: Choose Move Domain to reposition a child domain under a different parent branch in the tree.
- Delete: A domain can be deleted only after all user accounts within it have been moved or removed.
Note
The root SYSTEM domain cannot be moved, renamed, or deleted.
