Abiquo is designed to offer a cloud platform to multiple cloud tenants, which are called Abiquo enterprises. You can manage tenant enterprises and their users in Users view. To control user access to the platform, assign roles, scopes and privileges, which are also managed in Users view.
The different components of the platform are isolated for each enterprise, ensuring that the resources allocated by an enterprise will not affect other enterprises' allocated resources, and that each enterprise will be free to manage its own resource cloud. Here are some examples of the components that are isolated at enterprise level:
- Virtual datacenters
- Virtual appliances
- Appliance library
- Hard and soft limits
- Events

The main Cloud Administrator will be able to see a list of all enterprises in the left pane and all users in the right pane because they have both the Manage enterprises and Manage users of all enterprises privilege and access to all enterprises through the default global administration scope. As they also have the Allow users to switch enterprise privilege, they can switch to a different tenant in the Users view.
