The following diagram shows an example of a tenant scopes that are in a hierarchy. The hierarchy contains the following scopes:
- Multinational scope
- National1 Reseller1 scope
- Customer1 scope
- Nat1Sub1 Dept1 scope
...

...
An administrator with the Multinational Customer1 scope would manage the enterprises:
- "MultinationalCustomer1"
- "National1Unit1"
- "NationalN".
An administrator with the National1 scope would manage the enterprises:
- "Nat1Sub1"
- "Nat1SubN"Unit2".

- Set the Reseller1 scope as the default scope for the enterprise. This will be the scope where the enterprise is the reseller
- The platform will also apply the default scope to new users in this enterprise
