The Child Accounts Module
The Child Accounts module enables Account Admins to create a child account within the parent account domain. The advantage of this is that the child account acts as an entirely separate domain with its own set of User Accounts, Groups, Permissions, and Roles. It functions and acts as its own entity which means that you will have different content for it as well since it will have its own URL.
For example, you could make your root or parent account your corporate organization account and then create separate child accounts for each regional office with user accounts, groups, content, and so forth applicable to each individual regional office (or child account).
