Description

Basically my question is ... How to create a group (and a user too) in an identity domain distinct than tenancy's default (root) using the oci-cli ... as you can do using the Web Console?

It seems to be there's no way to specify the --domain-id when creating a group in a domain different than tenancy's default bcz in the command oci iam group create the --compartment-id should be replaced --domain-id (or something like). What I think it does now based on the error message is that --compartment-id must be the same as the tenancy entry in the $HOME/.oci/config file. In fact in the --help command the --compartment-id says "The OCID of the tenancy containing the group. If not provided, this parameter will use the tenancy’s OCID (root compartment’s OCID) from the config file." but I cannot provide other than the tenancy entry in the $HOME/.oci/config file so only lets me create users and groups in the tenancy's default compartment but not in others.

Research direction

Start with the oci iam group create and related user-create command definitions, then review their --help text and the identity-domain behavior described in the issue. Done means the CLI either supports creating groups and users in a non-default identity domain or clearly documents the supported invocation and limitation.
