Subtenant Functionality

Known issues

  • Applications can use the subtenant functionality via the provided APIs. Tenant administrators should pay attention when assigning such apps to subtenant users as subtenant isolation cannot be ensured by the platform. The app might expose data to the user that is not intended to be seen.

  • When moving an asset from a parent tenant to a subtenant, there might be a delay of up to 30 minutes until a subtenant user will be able to see data related to that asset.

  • Please be aware, if you provide a user (even subtenant user) the role "mdsp:core:TenantAdmin", this user is then able to get access to all kinds of tenant data.

Usage Transparency Service

   – Asset ID Unique identification ID of the asset.

   – Asset Name Unique name of the asset. This column value is empty if "Asset Name" is not mentioned for an associated "Asset ID" in the Entity Master Data Service (EMDS).

  • Customer Dashboard enables the Customer to gather a visual overview about the offerings and upgrades purchased. It also provides transparency on used resources and exceeded limits.
