Cloud tenant hierarchy example

Multicloud platforms may have a hierarchy of tenants in a tree structure. These tenants can have their own scope hierarchy with multiple levels.

An example of a hierarchy of tenants could be a chain of retail stores with a head office and regional offices, as well as the stores themselves. The head office may manage the regional offices, and the regional offices may manage the stores. The IT department in the head office and the IT department in the regional office may both share VM templates with the stores. 

You can use tenant scopes to:

1. Create restricted sets of resources for administrators
2. Share resources with a group of tenants and an optional tenant hierarchy

The following diagram shows an example of a tenant scopes that are in a hierarchy. The hierarchy contains the following scopes:

1. Multinational scope
2. Reseller1 scope
3. Customer1 scope
4. Dept1 scope

Edit each enterprise and assign the scope from the hierarchy as the Default scope of the enterprise.
