Manage Tenants
Managing tenants
Tenants are used to separate areas of a directory service on one server. Each tenant can only access and view its own administration area. The settings of other tenants in the network are hidden. By default, there is only one <Default> tenant in the Console which manages all objects of the existing directory service structure.
Global, tenant-independent data
Although the Console settings are tenant-separated and managed in isolation, the following areas are common for all tenants:
Product settings menu:
- Audit | Shadowcopy | Shadowcopy server settings work area
- Antivirus | Update settings | Server settings work area
Administration menu:
- Administrator | SSL configuration
- Superadmin | Import of settings from XML (global)
- Licenses | License management
- Servers | Log files
- Servers | EgoSecure servers
- Servers | Mail, proxy and others | Proxy server settings work area
- Synchronization (except Deleted objects)
- Servers | Integrity control
- All settings in AdminTool
Installation menu:
- EgoSecure agents | Installation settings | Automatic update of EgoSecure agents – server parameters work area
Tenant-specific database settings
You can set a maximum size of audit data per tenant. When the limit is reached, audit data is stored on the agent's computer until a capacity is available in the database. For details, see: Specifying size limit for Audit data
