What is a Global Tenant?
A Global Tenant is a Tenant, which is configured and available to the Child Tenants (referred as Tenants) as default configuration. All the Tenants under the Global Tenant inherit the configurations made for the Global Tenant. The Global Tenant configurations cannot be modified from the Tenant configuration pages. They can be either set as Default or can be made Active or Inactive.
Note:
The Global Tenant configuration available to the Global Domain users only.
Example: GLOBAL TENANT is a Global Tenant. Instance 1, Instance 2, Instance 3, and Instance 4 are four Tenants under GLOBAL TENANT. The configurations, such as Impact, Priority, Urgency, etc., made for Incidents under GLOBAL TENANT are also available with globe symbol to Instance 1, Instance 2, Instance 3, and Instance 4 Tenants. With the help of Global Tenants, it is easier, faster, and less prone to errors, to set up the configurations at the Tenant level.
