1. A system for managing multiple domain platforms including first and second domain platforms operating independently from each other, the first domain platform configured to grant a first privilege to a first user access privilege to initiate, using a communication tool provided by the first domain platform, a communication activity, the system comprising:
a processor; and
a computer-readable medium in communication with the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor alone or in combination with other processors to control the system to perform:
detecting that a first user has initiated, using the communication tool, the communication activity involving a second user, wherein the first user is associated with a first user account registered to the first domain platform;
determining whether the second user is associated with any of user accounts registered to the first or second domain platform;
in response to detecting that the second user is not associated with any of the user accounts registered to the first or second domain platform, creating a second user account associated with the second user and register the second user account to the second domain platform; and
granting a second user access privilege to the second user account registered to the second domain platform, the second user access privilege including a privilege to respond to the communication activity initiated by the first user,
wherein the first user access privilege granted by the first domain platform includes one or more access privileges that are not included in the second user access privilege granted by the second domain platform.
