Create tenants

In the platform, enterprises are cloud tenants, meaning they are groups of cloud users with their own logical resources. For more information, see Introduction to enterprises. For each tenant, you can assign access to infrastructure and resources.

Before you begin managing enterprises, we recommend that you do these steps:

1. Add infrastructure to the platform in Infrastructure View. For example: create datacenters and public cloud regions; configure networks; in private cloud, configure hypervisors and storage; and configure the platform in Configuration View, and also see Configure two factor authentication
2. Prepare pricing. See Pricing View
3. Prepare enterprise themes for white-labelling following the Abiquo Branding Guide
4. Prepare user roles for cloud users and administrators
5. Create a scope for the enterprise. See Manage Scopes

To create a cloud tenant enterprise, do these steps:

1. Go to Users → Enterprises

2. Click the + add button below the Enterprises list
   

3. Enter tenant details and options as described in the UI dialog descriptions
   
   • To enable the tenant's users to deploy, allow the tenant to access at least one datacenter or public cloud region
4. Define the resources the enterprise can use
5. Click Accept to save

Abiquo will create the enterprise and filter to display only this enterprise. To display other enterprises, click the X beside the enterprise name in the filter box at the top of the Enterprises list.
