Switch Tenant

Image Modified


If a user is member in multiple tenants security groups, he can switch tenants from the tenants list. The list of tenants is determined based on the security group role on each tenant for the logged in user. If the logged in user is member in a user type security group on first tenant and member in an admin type security group on second tenant, he can switch between first tenant and second tenant in Portal. When switching to second tenant, he will also have permission to switch to Administrator. 
NOTE: the list of tenants is determined at login. If roles for logged in user changed in a tenant's security group, the list will be recalculated at the next login of the user.
