    2. Click Admin, Users.

  • Tenant Administrator Role Rights

    By default, the Tenant Administrator can create, edit, clone, and delete tenants, and manage user accounts. They can also perform discovery and manage device collections for tenants. These role rights are editable.
    Tenant administrators do not have access to any groups in the Default Tenant workspace or domain. However, the My Custom Groups feature can be enabled for any tenant administrator to more easily manage their assigned tenant groups.
