# CreateDomain
<a name="API_connect-cases_CreateDomain"></a>

Creates a domain, which is a container for all case data, such as cases, fields, templates and layouts. Each Amazon Connect instance can be associated with only one Cases domain.

**Important**  
This will not associate your connect instance to Cases domain. Instead, use the Amazon Connect [CreateIntegrationAssociation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_CreateIntegrationAssociation.html) API. You need specific IAM permissions to successfully associate the Cases domain. For more information, see [Onboard to Cases](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/adminguide/required-permissions-iam-cases.html#onboard-cases-iam).
