Finally someone to explain in brief what is "trust domain" and is
precisely what we need. We need to create something that the grids and
regions connected by
hypergrid can behave as "trust domain" <br>
Cristina got 100000% of reason in your security considerations for
links between grids and regions. <br>
Melanie, thanks for the help given by your post.<br>
