Monitor Reports in Multitenant Environments
Reports for the master site can target all available devices, however, in tenant sites, only devices to
which the tenant site has access are visible in reports.
If, for example, a tenant wants to make a report about a monitor shared by all tenants, then the
tenant can create the report only for data from devices assigned to its site.
