Tenant

Tenants are physically separated data spaces with a separate URL, which has a specific set of users, a separate application management and no data sharing by default. Users in a single tenant share the same URL and the same data space.

Tenant domain

A key feature of the Enterprise tenant is the ability to operate the Cumulocity platform using a custom domain name. This means that you can configure the platform to serve you and your customers using a host name of choice.

For details see Platform administration > Enterprise tenant administration > Customizing your platform.

Tenant hierarchy

The Cumulocity tenant concept builds a 3-level hierarchy, including the following levels from bottom to top:

These three levels differ in their scope, particularly with regards to administration.

Tenant ID

The unique ID of a tenant or subtenant. When a tenant is created, it gets an auto-generated ID, which cannot be changed. The tenant ID is shown in the user dropdown menu in the UI.

Thin Edge

Thin-edge.io is an open-source and cloud-agnostic IoT framework designed for lightweight IoT devices. It offers simple and secure device connectivity, freedom of the cloud platform, for example Cumulocity, and freedom of the programming language.
