Access

Tenant Access

After you log in, your privilege set defines the features you can use. Permission sets and user group assignments define the actions you can take on an assigned asset.

For example, users assigned to the M&D Manager permission set can work with the following features:
  • Alerts
  • Alert templates
  • Cases
  • Analysis data and charts
  • Dashboard widget configuration
  • Performance data
  • Executive reports
  • Work history searches
Users assigned to the User Administrator permission set can perform the following actions:
  • Add and assign permission sets
  • Administer users and groups
  • View the analytic catalog
  • View and search the audit logs

Switch Between Tenants

Before You Begin

Obtain the access URLs for each tenant.

About This Task

This procedure applies if you have access permissions to more than one tenant (unique instance) and need to switch between them.

Procedure

  1. In a web browser, enter the URL for your first tenant.
  2. Log in to the tenant with SSO or UAA credentials.
    Note: If you have already logged in using your SSO, you are automatically redirected to your web application.
  3. Enter the URL for your next tenant in the same tab, or enter it in a new browser window or tab.
  4. Depending on the type of tenant you are switching to, one of the following applies:
    • If you are switching to another SSO tenant from an SSO tenant, you are automatically logged in.
    • If you are switching to another UAA tenant, you must log in with your UAA credentials for that tenant.
  5. Optional: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any additional tenants.

Results

You can now switch between tenant windows as you would normally do between applications. You remain signed into each tenant until you log out or your session times out.
