Managing tenants
Create, modify, or delete tenants. Tenants enable the administrators of your environment
to limit access to assets and data items to users in one or more user groups. Users can access
assets and data items that are associated with their own tenants, or with any tenants below theirs
in the hierarchy.
Creating tenants from the UI Tenant Management
view. A hierarchy of tenants exists, with the super tenant at the apex. Under the
super tenant, tenants can be grouped by zones, centers, and contracts. Each zone can contain one or
more centers, and each center can contain one or more contracts. Data ingestion flows are used only
by center tenants to ingest data for the center tenants and their child tenants. After a
tenant is created, you can map one or more user groups and roles to the tenant. These mapped
user groups and roles determine the users that can access the assets that are associated with that
tenant or with any of its child tenants. Creating tenants from the command line A hierarchy of tenants exists, with the super tenant at the apex. Under the

Management view. The super tenant cannot be deleted. When you delete a tenant, the child
tenants are also deleted. Any assets that are associated with the deleted tenant and its child
tenants are then associated with the parent of the deleted tenant.Managing contract groups You can group contracts
together and assign roles access to all the contracts in a particular group.
