HCP Tenant Management Help
An HCP repository is partitioned into namespaces. A namespace is a logical grouping of objects such that the objects in one namespace are not visible in any other namespace.
Namespaces provide a mechanism for separating the data stored for different applications. For example, one namespace could store accounts-receivable data while another stores accounts-payable data.
Namespaces are owned and managed by administrative entities called tenants. A tenant typically corresponds to an organization, such as a company or a division or department within a company. A tenant can also correspond to an individual person.
A tenant can own multiple namespaces. However, one special tenant, named default, owns only one namespace, named default. This namespace has some different properties from other namespaces. These differences are pointed out, where applicable, in this book.

Note: This book refers to all tenants except the default tenant as HCP tenants. The namespaces owned by HCP tenants are called HCP namespaces. |
