Restricting available information by tenant
In a system that supports multiple tenants, data must be restricted so that only authorized system users may gain access to
the information that applies to a specific tenant. The information that can be controlled by tenant includes: personnel, badge,
access right, intrusion PIN, Niagara Integration ID, user, and tenant records. If the
Tenants property on a user record identifies a specific tenant value, that user can view only personnel, badge, access right, etc.
information, which contains the same Tenants property values.
Prerequisites: You are working in a Supervisor station. You have created tenant records for all tenants in the building
Perform the following steps:
- Create or edit a system user, access right, intrusion PIN or Niagara Integration ID.
- For each record, click the chevron (>>) to the right of the Tenants property, select the tenant from the Ref Chooser window
and either click the Assign button (
) and click Ok.This associates the record with the specific tenant. - To limit the records that are available based on the current tenant, click the Tenant Filter icon (
) in the top right corner of the view.The Tenant Filter window opens.
- Click the chevrons to the right side, select the tenant from the Ref Chooser list, click the Assign button ( ), and click Ok.The system hides restricted information (data assigned to a tenant other than the current tenant) and the Tenant Filter icon changes to a lock icon (
). More than one tenant may be added the viewing restriction by using the Tenant Filter window. You add or remove tenant filters
to show or hide information.
- To remove the restriction, click the lock icon, and click the X icon to the right in the Tenant Filter window.All data are available for viewing.
The Tenant Filter window can restrict information that the current user sees in several specific views. When using this feature, be aware that:
- The system filters information a user can view based on the
Tenantsproperty values that are associated with the user. For example, “Tenant A” and “Tenant B” cannot view “Tenant C” information because it is not available to them. - If a tenant is assigned a single
Tenantsproperty value, the Tenant Filter window opens as read-only, since no additional filtering is available.
