Tenant Management

RapidCanvas platform supports a multi-tenancy environment where multiple tenants are hosted on a single instance. Each tenant is isolated from another and is restricted to view the projects in their specific tenant. A tenant has its users and projects. A user logged in to the platform can access the tenants to which the permissions are given.

Only admin users who have permission can create tenants.
