Subcommunities

Subcommunities, which can be nested up to eight levels deep, allow you to have differently secured subsections in a community. For example, you might have a Marketing community that contains the Advertising Subcommunity. The Advertising Subcommunity could have distinct owners; or only a subset of the Marketing community might be entitled to see the Advertising Subcommunity.
