When you create new domains, you need to specify the following:

  • The users that belong to the domain and their role in the domain.
  • The governing strategy to apply.
  • Roles with read-only access permissions to view different entities in the domain.
  • The roles that can administer the default policy created with the domain.

All Ripple Custody environments include at least a root domain by default, so you can only create new domains that are a subdomain of the root domain or, if one exists, another subdomain.

Create a domain

To create a domain:

  1. From the Domain drop-down menu at the top left, select the parent domain.
  2. Navigate to Domains.
  3. Click Create a domain.
  4. Enter the domain details, as follows:
