# Domain separation setup and administration

Setting up domain separation involves requesting activation of a plugin, setting options, and assigning users and records to domains.

Do the following to set up domain separation:

1.  [Request domain separation](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_ActivateDomainSeparation.md)
2.  [Create a domain](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_CreateADomain.md)
3.  [Add a domain field to a table](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_AddADomainFieldToATable.md)

You can also perform these basic administrative tasks on domains:

-   [Enable or disable a domain](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_ActivateDeactivateADomainForMSP.md)
-   [View domain relationships](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_ViewDomainRelationships.md)
-   [Expand domain scope](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_ChangeDomainVisibility.md)
-   [Create a domain-specific choice list](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/t_CreateADomainSpecificChoiceList.md)

See [Advanced domain separation administration](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/platform-security/c_DomainSeparationAdministration.md) for a list of tasks to perform after you set up domain separation and perform basic administration.
