HCP Tenant Management Help
Tenant-level administrative responsibilities consist of:
•Managing user and group accounts
•Maintaining the tenant
•Creating and maintaining namespaces
•Monitoring the tenant and namespaces
•Managing namespace access
•Performing compliance activities
You perform these activities in the HCP Tenant Management Console. For information about using this Console, see Tenant Management Console.
Managing user and group accounts
HCP user and group accounts determine whether you can log into the HCP Tenant Management Console or Search Console and which operations you can perform in namespaces. For the Tenant Management Console, they also determine which actions you’re allowed to perform after logging in.
You use the Tenant Management Console to create, modify, and delete user and group accounts. For each HCP user account, you specify whether it’s authenticated locally or by RADIUS.
You also use the Tenant Management Console to configure login settings for the Console as a whole.
For information about managing user and group accounts and configuring login settings, see Managing accounts.
Maintaining the tenant
HCP system-level administrators create tenants and maintain certain aspects of their configuration. Other aspects of tenant configuration, however, are maintained at the tenant level.
As a tenant administrator, you are responsible for configuring:
•Tenant contact information
•The tenant description
•The tenant permission mask
•System-level administrative access to the tenant
•Access to the Tenant Management Console
•Access to HCP through the management API
•Access to the Search Console for the tenant
For information about these activities, see Configuring the tenant.
You are also responsible for creating and managing content classes and content properties for the tenant. For information about this, see Managing search and indexing.
Creating and maintaining namespaces
As a tenant administrator, you are responsible for creating and maintaining namespaces. After creating a namespace, you can change most of its properties. You are also responsible for managing search and indexing for the namespace.
In addition to creating and modifying namespaces, you can delete them, but only if they don’t contain any objects.
For information about:
•Creating namespaces, see Creating a namespace
•Changing namespace properties, see Configuring a namespace and Selecting or deselecting namespaces for replication
•Managing search and indexing, see Managing search and indexing for an individual namespace
•Deleting namespaces, see Deleting a namespace

Note: Users with the allow namespace management property can use the HCP management and S3 compatible APIs to create, view and change the versioning status of, and delete namespaces. |
Monitoring the tenant and namespaces
HCP is a self-monitoring, self-healing system that automatically alerts you to any issues you may need to address (such as a namespace running low on space). The Tenant Management Console enables you to review tenant and namespace activity and take action to address certain issues. Using the Console, you can view:
•Statistics and graphs showing namespace usage. For more information about this, see:
•Messages about tenant and namespace events, such as configuration changes and searches performed from the Search Console. For information about this, see:
oViewing the complete tenant event log
oViewing the complete namespace event log
•Messages about security events (that is, attempts to log into the Tenant Management Console with an invalid username). For information about this, see Viewing the tenant security log.
•Messages about compliance events (that is, retention class activity and privileged delete operations). For information about this, see:
oViewing the tenant compliance log
oViewing the namespace compliance log
•Reports of irreparable objects. For information about this, see Working with irreparable objects.
•Alerts warning you of conditions that may need your attention. For information about this, see:
•The progress of replication activity. For information about this, see Monitoring and managing replication.
You can also have HCP send tenant and namespace log messages to syslog servers, SNMP managers, and specified email addresses. For information about this see:
•Configuring email notification
Additionally, you can generate chargeback reports that can be used as input to billing applications. For information about this, see Generating chargeback reports.
Managing namespace access
Managing namespace access entails:
•Setting the tenant and namespace data access permission masks (see Changing the tenant permission mask and Changing the namespace permission mask)
•Setting minimum data access permissions for authenticated and unauthenticated users (see Changing minimum data access permissions)
•Configuring the namespace access protocols for client access to each namespace (see Configuring namespace access protocols)
•Optionally, setting the IP addresses from which access to the Search Console is allowed or denied (see Controlling access to the Search Console)
•Optionally, downloading HCP Data Migrator for installation on client computers (see Downloading HCP Data Migrator)
Performing compliance activities
The Tenant Management Console enables you to perform certain activities required for compliance with some local regulations. Using the Console, you can:
•Create, modify, and delete retention classes (see Working with retention classes)
•Perform privileged delete operations (see Using privileged delete)
