Tenant administration

Tenant administration tasks are performed by system administrators and delegated tenant administrators.

System administrators must be members of the System Administrators role in the Cognos namespace. System administrators can view and modify all objects in the content store. They can also delegate tenant administration tasks to other administrators who are members of the Tenant Administrators role in the Cognos namespace.

Members of the System Administrators role can perform the following tasks in a multitenant IBM® Cognos® Analytics environment:

Create, change, and delete tenant objects.
Change tenancy properties on any object in the content store.
Move tenants.
Terminate sessions for tenants.

The Multitenancy tab in Manage is the central area for tenant administration. On this tab, the administrator can add new tenants, and manage all tenants that are registered in the current Cognos Analytics environment. Only members of the System Administrators role can access the Multitenancy tab.

Tip: The Multitenancy tab in IBM Cognos Administration can also be used for tenant administration.
