In SharePoint 2013, I'm using the host named site collection method to host multiple sites for different domain names in a single actual web app. To be clear these are created using command lines, New-SPSite -HostHeaderWebApplication etc etc
It's all working but now the issue of self service site creation has come up. I'm trying to figure out how to enable the owner of one of these host named sites to create his sub sites, and have the new sub site come up within his name space, under his domain name, not under the actual domain name of the host header web app, which of course is a completely unrelated domain name.
When I looked at the self service site creation configuration page in the GUI, it appeared that any new sites created would be under the (parent) host header web app's domain name and I didn't see any way to change that or make this permission specific to the site in question.
Sorry if this is hard to read or hard to interpret what I'm getting at.
Thanks
