The Single Connect Multitenancy function can provide multiple and independent applications and functions. Single Connect Multitenancy enables an architecture in which a single instance serves multiple customers. Each customer is called a tenant. Tenants may be given the ability to customize some parts of the application. Tenants are logically isolated from each other. Tenant admins can only manage devices and users that they are allowed to access and can only see the logs related to the permitted devices and users.
