Multitenant Environments

Multitenancy allows platform administrators to deploy a single production environment to service multiple client organizations (known as tenants). Multitenancy uses domains, which allow a tenant's administrators to manage Unwired Platform entities within the cluster partition, provided that administration users possess the proper domain administration privileges.

The platform administrator has a complete view of the enterprise and its clusters, including all domains that are created to support the tenancy strategy. However, domain administrators see only the domains to which they have been assigned. Security configurations can be designed and assigned for a particular domain according to the tenant's security requirements. Likewise, domain-specific packages created by the tenant can be deployed to the domain created for him or her.

Do not confuse domains in Unwired Platform with the traditional concept of network domains. In Unwired Platform, a domain is only a namespace used in production environments.
