The domain is the tenant
What a Five9 domain contains before anyone dials.
Foundations and the domain ยท foundation ยท 12 min full read
You sign into one domain. Skill groups, users, lists, prompts, scripts, and campaigns live there. Another domain does not inherit them.
- State the domain boundary
- Say which roles join a skill group
Five9 does not use CUCM-style partitions and calling search spaces. If you are coming from Unified Communications Manager, do not look for a partition table. Look for the domain, then skills and campaigns. That mapping is a teaching bridge, not a vendor migration wizard.
Objects that do not leak into the next domain.
Draw the boundary
Sketch two domains and refuse to share a list between them.
- Name three objects that stay inside a domain
- Write the CUCM idea you will not look for
- Say which roles can join a skill
A teammate can repeat the boundary without saying 'partition'.
- Domain boundary? Users, lists, skills, and campaigns stay in that domain.
- CUCM partition equivalent? There isn't one. Teach domain, skills, campaigns.
- Skill membership? Agent or supervisor users, and a user may have several skills.
- Multiple skills on a campaign? Yes.

- Skill groups. vendor. last checked 2026-10.
- confirm. This lesson's CUCM comparison is a teaching map. Five9 does not publish it as a migration product. last checked 2026-10.
Glossary. Skill group: Agents or supervisors who can take a campaign's work. A user and a campaign can have more than one. Skill groups
Sister technologies. Salesforce IVR module. A script module, including SFDC Einstein. Different from the desktop adapter. IVR modules
Config. Sketch two domains and refuse to share a list between them.
Troubleshooting. The agent is logged in and Ready, and the queue never offers the call. Add the user to the Billing skill group.
Cross-platform bridge. A mapping to another PBX or contact center is a teaching bridge. It is not an import button.
Future hook. The guide's cloud endpoint stays unset. Confirm before relying on a dated catalog or a case-study number.
