Within an 'Owner' account, there can be one or more tenants - each tenant relates to one instance of an ecosystem.  The tenant contains whatever apps have been installed and links those apps together so that they share data between themselves.  

Some examples of tenants might be:
  • An organization has only one tenant which is the home for their production careers environment which has all of the apps they require installed. 
  • An organization who has three tenants which are nearly the same; a live production environment, a sandbox environment and a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environment. Each tenant would be set up as their own tenant - the required apps would be installed for each tenant.
