## Domain separation and Expense Line {#ariaid-title7}

Domain separation is unsupported in Expense Line processing. Domain separation enables you to separate data, processes, and administrative tasks into logical groupings called domains. You can control several aspects of this separation, including which users can see and access data.

### Support level: No support {#domain-separation-expense-line__section_bcf_bzq_xkb}

* The domain field may exist on data tables but there is no business logic to manage the data.
* This level is not considered domain-separated.

separation](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=domain-separated-apps&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-security&ft:locale=en-US).{#domain-separation-expense-line__p_etc_nfg_h1c}
