+A domain configuration can be used to determine which users in the domain may request creation of: (a) official courses, (b) unofficial courses, or (c) communities, within the domain.
 
 The default is for no course or community requests by any domain users.
 
 Communities are similar to courses except the Coordinator may only browse areas of the shared LON-CAPA repository for which he/she has an author or co-author role.

+Course/Community requests may be set to be processed automatically, queued for approval by a Domain Coordinator, or (for official courses, for example) validated against institutional instructor of record data.  The ``With validation'' option is only displayed if the crsreq_checks() subroutine in localenroll.pm has been customized to indicate that a particular course type/institutional affiliation can be validated. 
+
+The crsreq_checks() routine is closely tied to validate_crsreq(). ``With validation'' should not be a possible choice in the domain configuration menu for a particular course type/institutional affiliation, unless corresponding validation code has been implemented in validate_crsreq().
 
 LON-CAPA can be configured to send messages to Domain Coordinators to notify them when a course has been requested and queued pending approval. Recipients of such messages are selected from users with an active Domain Coordinator role for the domain.  These same users will also receive messages when a course request has been approved by a Domain Coordinator.
