When you create a tenant in Symphony, you're creating a work area for specific clients, departments, or lines of business. You'll create a tenant, assign an administrative user, create one or more projects for the tenant, and define their data connectors.
Important: You must have the appropriate licensing from insightsoftware to see this option.
If you create an environment that includes multiple tenants, they can access items in the <GLOBAL> project of Managed Dashboards and Reports unless you specifically exclude their access to this content. As needed, you can designate items to be shared across multiple tenants using security privileges.
