8.1 Adding a Tenant

A tenant is a company with a group of users sharing common access with specific privileges. Each company has a Tenant Administrator. Multitenancy is an optional feature where a single instance of Advanced Authentication solution supports multiple tenants.

NOTE:Multitenancy is disabled by default. Before adding a tenant, enable Multitenancy. For more information on enabling multitenancy, see Multitenancy options.

To add a tenant, perform the following steps:

  1. Click Tenants.

  2. Click Add.

  3. Specify the name, description, and password for the tenant administrator.

  4. Click Save.

NOTE:For the tenants added, you can view the number of configured repositories and the date of license expiration. Also on the Edit tenant page, you can view the number of users and change the password for the tenant administrator.

NOTE:A Tenant administrator can access the Advanced Authentication Administrative Portal with the credentials. A tenant administrator cannot add another tenant and cannot access the Server options, Cluster, and Updates sections. For more information, see Tenant Administration Guide.
