Concept 1 of 10

Tenant

The organizational boundary that owns everything in your SeekBytes environment.

What Is a Tenant?

A Tenant is the top-level container in SeekBytes. It represents the organization — a company, startup, solo founder, service provider, consultancy, internal department, or managed services operator — that owns the environment.

If you imagine SeekBytes as a business building, the Tenant is the company's private office space inside that building. Everything that belongs to your organization lives within your Tenant.

Why Does It Matter?

The Tenant keeps work cleanly separated between organizations. One company's projects, systems, and credentials never mix with another company's. This gives you:

Ownership clarity — You always know who owns what.
Security isolation — Data stays within organizational boundaries.
Billing boundaries — Usage is tracked per organization.
Access control — Permissions are scoped to the Tenant.
Clean reporting — Logs and analytics are per-organization.

What Does a Tenant Contain?

A Tenant is the owner of everything you build on the platform. Inside a Tenant, you will find:

Users and contacts
Settings and preferences
Projects (the workspaces where solutions are built)
Systems, Connectors, and Automations
Credentials and access rules
Logs and policies

Real-World Example

An enterprise IT organization adopts SeekBytes to automate operations and documentation. The IT department signs up and creates an account for the organization. That organization account becomes the Tenant.

Inside that Tenant, the IT team can invite staff, create projects for different initiatives (incident management, infrastructure provisioning, compliance), connect ticketing and monitoring systems, set up automations, and deliver services across the business — all under one organizational boundary.

What a Tenant Is Not

A Tenant is not a single software system, a single workflow, a single connector, or a machine identity making API calls at runtime. The Tenant is the owner and boundary — not the runtime worker. The work is performed by Assets (Connectors and Automations) that live inside the Tenant.

Helpful Metaphor

If SeekBytes is a business park, the Tenant is the company that leases an office and owns everything inside it — the furniture, the staff, the projects on the whiteboard.

Short Definition

Tenant: The organizational boundary that owns projects, systems, connectors, automations, users, and settings.
