Answers.Text: Thank you for the answer. When you say "User/user group have site permissions for elements that support it" - do those elements include user data? I am thinking about CP users having access to some user data but not others on a per site basis.

  Craft 3 multi-site is an extension of [locales](https://craftcms.com/docs/localization-guide) in Craft 2, so how the data is stored is virtually identical.
  
  The difference is that locales in Craft 2 are tied to language/country codes, but sites in Craft 3 are more abstract concepts that are user defined.

  User accounts are global. They are not created on a per-site basis, but they can be restricted on a per-site basis through user/user group permissions.
  
  > Will we be able to restrict which CP users see data from which site?
  
  User/user group have site permissions for elements that support it just like they have "locale" permissions in Craft 2.
