== Configuring Realms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A realm manages a set of users, credentials, roles, and groups. A user belongs to and logs into a realm. Realms are isolated from one another
|
|
|
|
|
and can only manage and authenticate the users that they control. One {{book.project.name}} deployment can define, store, and manage as many realms
|
|
|
|
|
as there is space for in the database. When deciding whether to have one or more realms think about what kind of isolation you want to have for
|
|
|
|
|
your users and applications. For example, you might define a realm for the employees of your company and have a separate realm for your customers.
|
|
|
|
|
You employees would log into the employee realm and only be able to visit internal company applications. Customers would log into the customer
|
|
|
|
|
realm and only be able to interact with customer-facing apps. In this section you'll learn some basics about realm creation and configuration.
