Domain Examples¶

This page demonstrates how to manage domains in Microsoft Fabric using the CLI. Domains provide hierarchical organization and governance capabilities for workspaces and data assets within your Fabric tenant.

Resource Type

Type: .Domain

To explore all domain commands and their parameters, run:

fab desc .Domain

Contributors Scope Options:

Scope	Description	Use Case
`AdminsOnly`	Only domain admins can contribute	Restricted, governance-focused domains
`AllTenant`	All tenant users can contribute	Open collaboration domains
`SpecificUsersAndGroups`	Selected users/groups only	Controlled access domains

Navigate to the domains collection using absolute path:

fab cd .domains

Navigate to a specific domain using relative path:

fab cd ../.domains/finance.Domain

Domain Management¶

A domain can only have a parent if that parent domain has no parent itself. This creates a maximum two-level hierarchy

Create Domain¶

Create a domain¶

fab create .domains/marketing.Domain

Create a domain with a parent domain for hierarchical organization¶

fab create .domains/sales-americas.Domain -P parentDomainName=sales,description="Sales domain for Americas region"

Create a child domain using full domain reference¶

fab create .domains/sales-emea.Domain -P parentDomainName=sales.Domain

Check if a specific domain exists and is accessible¶

fab exists .domains/finance.Domain

Get Domain¶

Get Domain Details¶

fab get .domains/finance.Domain

Get Domain using query and export properties to a local directory¶

fab get .domains/finance.Domain -q . -o /tmp

List Domains¶
