The following diagram shows a multitenant deployment where each tenant manages their own
infrastructure. The system administrator is the only user who logs in to the default tenant to manage
system-wide configuration and create tenants.
Each tenant has an IaaS administrator, who can create fabric groups and appoint fabric administrators
with their respective tenants. Although fabric administrators can create reservations for business groups
in any tenant, in this example they typically create and manage reservations in their own tenants. If the
same identity store is configured in multiple tenants, the same users can be designated as IaaS
administrators or fabric administrators in each tenant.

Create and Configure a Tenant
System administrators create tenants and specify basic configuration such as name, login URL, identity
stores, and administrators.
Prerequisites
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator.
Procedure
1 Specify Tenant Information
The first step to configuring a tenant is to name the new tenant and add it to vRealize Automation
and create the tenant-specific access URL.
