Set up Sub-Tenants
A (sub) Tenant key↑ is automatically generated when setting up a Sub-Tenant↑. The key can be used on specific 'Climatix IC Workflows'.
NOTICE
We recommend always using the Main-Tenant key↑ as the Distributor↑ on the controller.
Conceptually, a Sub-Tenant is an independently administered area. Create a Sub-Tenant Administrator↑ there.
The following outlines the standard procedure and a variant. "Additional information" includes section references on settings that are not outlined here in detail.
Standard workflow
- You are logged on as the Main-Tenant Administrator on Climatix IC↑.
- Go to "Administration > Tenants↑".
- Click "Create new tenant".
- Assign a name and description of the Sub-Tenant in the "Basic Data" area.
- Edit the description of the Sub-Tenant as required.
- The procedure is the same as for editing a Main-Tenant: See chapter 'Edited existing Main-Tenant'.
- Select "Active" to display the Sub-Tenant in the tenant selection of the portal navigation ribbon.
- Confirm the entries with "Save".
- The Sub-Tenant is set up. A "tenant key↑ (distributor↑)" is automatically created.
Variants: Create a Sub-Tenant from a Main-Tenant template
As a rule, the settings, roles↑, and applications for a Main-Tenant also largely work for the Sub-Tenants↑. The aforementioned data can be exported from the Main-Tenant↑ and imported to the Sub-Tenant during set up.
- You are logged on as the Main-Tenant Administrator on Climatix IC.
- Go to "Administration > Tenants".
- Displays the overview with Main-Tenant and all Sub-Tenants.
- Select the Main-Tenant.
- Click "Export template".
- The data is packed in a zip archive.
- Select "Save file" and save the zip archive to a suitable location.
Never unzip the zip archive. - Go to "Administration > Tenants".
- Click "Create from template".
- Assign a name and description of the Sub-Tenant in the "Basic Data" area.
- Select "Active" to display the Sub-Tenant in the tenant selection of the portal navigation ribbon.
- Click "Browse…" and go to the location of the zip archive.
- Select the zip archive.
- Confirm the entries and selection with "Save".
- The Sub-Tenant is set up. The same basic settings, roles↑, and application sets as the Main-Tenant are available.
You can also export and import templates from Sub-Tenant to Sub-Tenant. So that similar Sub-Tenants can be set up quickly.
Additional information
- "Tenants" includes information on settings "Connection supervision" and "Operations Role↑ access level" that are not explained here.
- Information on "Default data for plant settings" and "Key performance indicators", not otherwise explained here, is available in "Tenants".
- Note: Default data and KPIs are set up in the Sub-Tenant as per the Main-Tenant. Default data and KPIs edited in the Sub-Tenant is overwritten if something changes in the Main-Tenant.
- Learn how your Sub-Tenant inherits entire application sets in section "Settings", under Basic Data.
