Tenants
What is a Tenant?
A tenant is an instance of Loome Monitor. Each tenant spins up a database in Azure.
After signing up with Loome, when you first open Loome Monitor, you start with an empty tenant. You can set up your tenant and invite your employees/users to join your tenant. Assigning user Application Roles varies the level of access each user receives.
A user can be part of multiple tenants, but if you are a user of more than one tenant, the tenants themselves do not connect as they are isolated from one another. All Loome Monitor related data such as projects, rules, and connections, cannot be shared across different tenants.
If you have not been invited to a tenant, you will be redirected to choose from tenants where you have a role or you have the option to register a new tenant. Please speak with your administrator to organize access to a tenant.
Do I Need Multiple Tenants?
As you can organize your rules into as many separate projects as you need, there are only a few scenarios that will require you to have more than one tenant.
- You may wish to install multiple tenants if you are planning to create Development, Test and Production environments.
- If you would like a complete separation of projects, you can create a new tenant for a specific department.
Please note that creating multiple tenants will change your licensing cost.
Whilst you can be part of multiple tenants, you can only work on one tenant at a time. This means that having multiple tabs of Loome Monitor open in a web browser will not allow you to have different tenants connected on different tabs.
If you are running tasks across different machines and operating systems, it is advisable to install additional Agents on the required hosts, however there will be no need for an additional Tenant. If you have different data workloads/technologies, you can use Loome Monitor’s Data Connection types and projects instead of creating different Tenants for different workloads.
Switching Between Tenants
If you are a member of multiple tenants, you can switch between them by selecting the tenant from the top-right dropdown menu.
