Thanks again for your time.
If I am correctly understanding from Ray's comment, it is possible to setup 2 catalogs for say Cookies.com dvds.com and sell cookies through one site dvds through the another one. Where cookies.com customers can may buy dvds from dvds.com without registering again with dvds.com. It is possible for a single admin to be able to see and manage the catalog, sales, customer information for both the cookies.com and dvds.com from one admin account. If I am correctly understanding Jacques's and Ray's comment, it is NOT possible to have 2 seperate admin accounts (authorization) one for each cookies.com and dvds.com with 1 instance of OFBiz. 1. Am I right in my understanding Ray'sand Jacques's comment ? My other questions: 2. If there are door-to-door (affiliates) sales people for cookies.com, dvds.com, Is it possible to manage thier accounts online like seeing their sales, payment etc without seeing other affiliate's info ?

You will have to set separate instances as Ray as well explained.
