What is 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.
Example: ABC is a Global Tenant. HR, IT, Transport, Admin, and Finance are five Tenants under ABC Global Tenant. The configurations, such as Impact, Priority, Urgency, etc., made for Incidents under ABC (Global Tenant) are also available to HR, IT, Transport, Admin, and Finance Tenants. With the help of Global Tenants, it is easier, faster, less prone to errors, to set up the configurations at the Tenant level.
