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 exist) in that hierarchy. A supertenant is a tenant that is higher than another tenant (its relative subtenant) in the same tenant hierarchy. A subtenant typically represents a subdivision within its supertenants. A subtenant can have its own business rules and data, and supertenant data is "pushed" to the subtenant automatically on a read-only basis.
The product 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 (the default is four levels). The service provider also determines whether individual tenants can have subtenants. The service provider can optionally belong to tenant hierarchies. The service provider cannot have a parent tenant.
Note: The service provider can create multiple unrelated hierarchies, or none. Even in a system with tenant hierarchies, you can define stand-alone tenants.
