Tenant settings
A multitenant system can manage different customers or projects in one environment while keeping the data for each tenant segregated. On the tenant configuration page, such tenants can be activated according to the available licenses. Up to 64 tenants are supported. Tenant settings also determine the customized look and feel covering aspects of colors, font styles and logos, for example.
-
Click the Operational Settings > Tenants tab to configure common settings for tenants:
Figure 44: System – operational settings: tenants
You can perform the following actions:
-
activate or deactivate tenants
-
configure custom layout settings (name, logo, login background, color, fonts, icon, custom CSS)
-
import or export tenant-specific color scheme
-
initialize a multitenancy environment
To activate or deactivate a tenant
-
Select the tenant whose status you want to change.
-
Select or clear the box Enabled for the corresponding tenant to activate or deactivate.
The tenant status will be changed to Active.
-
Click Save.
To configure custom layout settings (name, login background, logo, color, fonts)
-
Select a tenant.
-
Adjust Tenant Name as desired:
Figure 45: System – operational settings: renaming a tenant
Tenant names should be defined initially before the system is accessed by an end user for the first time.
You should only rename a tenant in a scheduled downtime with no users being online. Renaming a tenant in a running system invalidates currently active user sessions and users will be forced to log in again!
If multiple tenants have been activated, a tenant may be specified either in the URL or by using a tenant HTTP header. The latter option with a header must be configured by the system administration. See [IM ImageMaster] for more information. A URL-based mode (default) and a header-based mode are mutually exclusive.

To initialize a multitenancy environment
In a multitenancy environment, the first tenant, which is always active in any system, will be used for managing the other tenants, i.e. the administration user who initially sets up the system can do the following:
-
Log in as an administration user with enough permissions (see chapter Default accounts) on the login page. By default the administration user belongs to the first tenant which is always active.
-
Activate and rename further tenants and optionally configure the specific tenant layout settings within the page System > Operational Settings > Tenants as described above.
The activation will create a new initial user account based on the role "useradm" for the new tenant with the initial default passwords (see chapter Default accounts).
-
Log off the system and return to the login page.
-
Insert a name of one of the newly activated tenants in the URL address, e.g.
http(s)://<host>:<port>/imageMaster/tenant1
If more than one tenant is enabled, the standard URL does not work anymore. Instead, a page is shown that informs the user about forbidden access.
-
Log in with the initially provided user accounts and start the process for preparing the configuration (see chapter Default accounts).
