Registering tenant

NetVault Backup allows the MSP administrator to register tenants. All tenant users must be in active directory under respective groups.

Once a tenant is registered and tenant’s AD groups are associated with tenant, new default client-group is created and assigned to tenant for default (automatic) client association. All the users that are part of tenant’s AD group get associated with tenant’s account, and defines the resources that tenant users can access within NetVault Backup.

For more information on registering tenant, see, Adding tenants.
