I'm not sure I understand. You are saying that I will have a hard time 
knowing which users belong to which academy? If so, yes, that's a 
problem and I don't have a solution yet.

Thanks. Looks very interesting. I have a few questions:

1. Can I choose /not/ to share users between domains?
2. Can I have admins for just one domain? The idea is that the "domain 
admin" would be able to add/edit users but only within his domain.
3. Can I get a list of users associated with one domain?


Item 2 is the main thing I am looking for. Let teachers manage kids in 
their school without being able to affect users in other schools.

Indeed. I'd rather not have the overhead. I'll take a good look at 
Domain Access.

My biggest concern is not about sharing or not sharing content. It's 
about giving out admin rights limited to a group.
