Creating Tenants
In the BDRSuite Backup Server you can create multiple tenants or user accounts. These tenants allow for segregation of backup data and resources, providing separate environments for different users or groups. Each tenant has its own set of permissions, configurations, and access controls, ensuring data isolation and security. By organizing tenants within the BDRSuite Backup Server, administrators can efficiently manage and allocate resources based on specific user needs and requirements.
The Multi tenancy is a feature in the BDRSuite Backup Server for managing collective BDR tasks between various users by providing privileges as per requirement. This feature enables users to assign multiple BDR roles, provide multiple accesses considering privileges, contributing to effective resource utilization and improved performance.
In the BDRSuite Backup Server navigate to 'Tenants'.
