A tenant is a grouping of Tableau Cloud sites that are hosted in a region.
A cloud administrator is a user with a role, added in TCM, that enables them to manage tenant configuration and content through the TCM UI and REST API.
Sites in a tenant
A site in a tenant is a typical Tableau Cloud site.
The behavior of features like workbooks, data sources, users, roles, licenses, permissions, and more, operate in the same way as Cloud sites that are not in a tenant.
A site in a tenant can be accessed through the Tableau REST API.
Existing sites can be migrated to a tenant.
Users in a tenant
A user, in the context of a site in a TCM tenant, is a typical Tableau Cloud user.
Once a user is added to a TCM tenant, that user identity can be added to any site within the tenant. An existing Tableau Cloud user can be migrated to a tenant by itself, in a batch, or in the context of migrating a site to a tenant. A tenant user can also be created directly.
TCM REST methods
The TCM REST API provides methods for managing a tenant and its members in the following categories. Currently, cloud administrator permissions are required for all REST API requests.
Administrative Methods enable you to get information about: the current REST session; a tenant’s status, region, and globally configured site capabilities; metrics for the different types of users of a site or tenant.
Authentication Methods enable you to create, view, and revoke personal access tokens (PAT) that authenticate you in the service. You can use the sign in method to retrieve a session access token that enables REST requests for the duration of the session.
Single Sign On Methods enable you to create, view and delete OIDC configurations for a site or globally for all of a tenant’s sites.
Site Methods enable you to create sites and projects, and view, suspend, reactivate and delete sites in a tenant.
Tenant Methods enable you to get information about a tenant and to find out if a tenant name is unique.
User Methods enable you to: create, import, delete users; view details of users and the resources related to users; update some of a user’s attributes.
