Abstract
Logically separating users into isolation groups is described. An example computer-implemented method can include identifying a first group of users of an online system that allows users to interact with one another on the online system. The method may also include grouping the first group of users into a first isolation group. The method may also include identifying a second group of users of the online system separate from the first group of users within the online system. The method may also include grouping the second group of users into a second isolation group. The first isolation group and the second isolation group may include logical boundaries that restrict interaction within the online system between users in the first isolation group and users in the second isolation group. Additionally, the first isolation group and the second isolation group may be hosted on the same server.
