Define a Tenant

You can define as many tenants as required to manage multiple separate enterprises that provide support to clients. Define a tenant before an instance of a tenant-required object can be updated.

Important! The first created tenant, the service provider, is the primary tenant (owner) in a CA APM multi-tenancy implementation. The service provider tenant cannot have a parent tenant. After you define the service provider tenant, log out of the product and log in again as a member of the service provider. We recommend that you log in as the privileged user (uapmadmin), because this user automatically belongs to the service provider tenant.

To define a tenant

  1. Click Administration, Tenancy Management.

    The Multi-Tenancy Administration page appears.

  2. On the left, click Tenant.

    The Tenants page appears.

  3. Click Create Tenant.

    Tenant Number

    Record Status

    Sets the tenant to active or inactive. After you define the service provider tenant, this option is read-only for the tenant.

    Parent Tenant
