Create Virtual Tenants

CoreView's Virtual Tenants can be customized to meet your organization's specific needs. For comprehensive information, refer to the “Virtual Tenants: overview” article.

Useful information before starting

Configuration shortcuts

During setup, you can skip steps by selecting the desired section from the left-hand menu.

User inclusion

Including users is a basic requirement in creating a Virtual Tenant. It's important to decide whether to adopt an inclusive or exclusive approach regarding the visibility of groups from other organizational units. This decision is a key consideration in your Virtual Tenant's design.

License Pool configuration as an alternative

Organizations may choose not to create Virtual Tenants and use their License Pools configuration as a substitute. This might suit smaller organizations whose License Pool structure aligns with their Virtual Tenant preferences. However, this approach is typically not recommended.

   • Optionally, use logical operators like AND or OR to combine or separate filter criteria.

Users
