C. Definitions
This chapter provides definitions that will help you understand the concepts described in the remainder of
this guide.
TENANTS
Tenant – Each Vidyo system has at least one tenant, called the default tenant. If you choose not to
use the system’s built-in multi-tenant capability, every user in your entire organization belongs to
the default tenant.
Multi-Tenant – Much as a web hosting company can host multiple websites for a variety of
customers, a single VidyoPortal system can be set up to host multiple organizations, called
tenants. A single organization might also wish to divide up its users into multiple sets of tenants. In
the latter case, the Super Admin will likely want to enable “cross-tenant access” so any system user
can reach any other system user.
Tenant — Your organization, selection of users, or a “user segment.”
Tenant Name — Simple identifier within the system and among other tenants.
Tenant URL — The tenant’s URL is the URL/FQDN that tenants use to access their virtual portal.
