Tenant is a non-human entity that governs users, groups, roles, workspaces, projects, and datasets. Tenant is created and governed by a Super Admin. Each tenant has at least one admin who governs its entities.
You can view all, active and inactive, in the Tenant Management space. The three clickable KPI Cards take you to the respective tabs on the Tenant Management Page.

The Tenant Management feature in Rubiscape allows to efficiently service small customers, small enterprises, and large enterprises that need access to the virtually unlimited computation resources of the Cloud.
Using the Tenant Management feature, you can

• Share software development and maintenance costs, and
• Reduce your expenditures (proving economical for customers.)

From the Tenant Management page, a super administrator can:

• Create multiple tenants
• Edit a tenant
• Deactivate a tenant temporarily
• Activate a deactivated tenant
• Delete a tenant
