    I was trying to figure this out a while ago. Thanks for enlightening me
    :). Is this possible to be added in documentation.

    If I can add here because it's more about virtual users. I still don't
    understand is how can I create global admin user. I think in previous
    versions of cyrus this works but in latest I can only see users from
    primary domain or server hostname.
