This article provides the instructions to add and manage multi-tenancy accounts and groups.

  2. Click Yes when prompted for confirmation.


  3. From the Administrator Mode interface, select the ACCOUNT tab. The default landing page for this view is Account Info.


    Note

    Here you will see all the additional links for Multi-Tenancy:

    • Account Management
    • Deleted Accounts
    • Account Importer
  4. Click the ACCOUNT tab, select Account Management on the left pane, and click the New Group link.


  5. Fill in the Name and Description, and click Save.


  6. The system will return to the previous page. Check the drop-down menu to verify that your newly-created group is listed.

Multi-Tenancy allows you to create up to 10 accounts in a single Appspace On-Premise.

Important

You must configure E-mail notifications first.

    • The API key is a code that can be generated by Appspace to allow users to access their Appspace API (Application Programming Interface).

    • Date Commenced is the commencement date of the account upon registration or as desired.



  3. Set the Account Type, as follows:

    • Full Account: grants an option to either set a maximum value for the resource usage or set it to Unlimited.
    • Trial Account: allows a maximum value to be set for the resource usage for the account.
