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.

Thick Edge

Thick Edge is an informal term sometimes used to refer to Cumulocity Edge, a single-server variant of the Cumulocity platform, designed to run in factories on industrial PCs or local servers, that is, in the same site (“onsite”) in which the IoT assets are located. For details, see the Cumulocity Edge documentation.

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.
