# Domains

Domains are containers of data sources that allow you to assign data ownership and access management to specific business units, subject matter experts, or teams at the nexus of cross-functional groups. Instead of centralizing your data governance and giving users too much governance over all your data, you control how much power they have over data sources by granting them permission within domains in Immuta.

## [Getting started](/2024.2/secure-your-data/domains/configure-domains.md)

Create and manage a domain to determine how much power governance users have over that data.

## [Domains reference guide](/2024.2/secure-your-data/domains/domains.md)

This guide describes the design, behavior, and value of domains.
