Tenant Hierarchies

A tenant hierarchy is a structured tenant group that is system-created or modified when you assign a parent tenant to a tenant. The tenant becomes a subtenant of the parent and higher tenants (if any) in that hierarchy.

Note: The service provider can create multiple unrelated hierarchies, or none. Even in a system with tenant hierarchies, you can define standalone tenants.

CA APM supports a tenant hierarchy of unlimited depth. However, the service provider can specify a limit on the total number of tenants and the depth of tenant hierarchies (default is four levels). The service provider also determines whether individual tenants can have subtenants.

Note: Although not required, the service provider can participate in tenant hierarchies. The service provider cannot have a parent tenant.
