Configuring Multi Tenancy Tenants

date_range 21-Mar-19

The Tenants profile page displays the resource profile, users, assigned interfaces, zones, and routing instance of the configured tenant systems.

Tenant systems are used when you need to separate departments, organization, or customers and each of them can be limited to one virtual router. The main difference between a logical system and a tenant system is that a logical system supports advanced routing functionality using multiple routing instances. In comparison, a tenant system supports only one routing instance, but supports the deployment of significantly more tenants per system. A master administrator creates a tenant system and assigns an administrator for managing the tenant system. A tenant system can have multiple administrators.

Root users can switch to tenant context by navigating to Configure>Multi tenancy>Tenants page and selecting any one listed instance and clicking Enter TENANT respectively.

Roles supported for Tenant

J-Web supports the following roles with respect to tenant.

  • Root user in normal mode

  • Root user entering as tenant

  • Tenant administrator

  • Tenant read-only user

Note

Tenant administrator and read-only users are created from Tenant wizard by selecting appropriate roles.

If you have opened J-Web in multiple tabs in the browser, and if in one of the tab you switch mode to logical system or tenant, then the other instances of J-Web in the other tabs will automatically switch to logical system or tenant.

J-Web maintains different session for different protocols, such as http or https.

When you refresh the screen, you will not be logged out; instead the screen is refreshed, and you will continue in the same session.
