If you are a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) or distributed enterprise and
you create a
multitenant hierarchy, you might need to acquire and manage tenants that
are not part of your current tenant hierarchy. You can do this by acquiring an
external tenant.
Any tenant is considered an external tenant if it isn’t within your current tenant
hierarchy. You can only acquire a top-most, root-level, parent tenant through an
external tenant acquisition. You would acquire an external tenant primarily in the
case of corporate acquisitions or mergers or reorgs. A tenant can have only one
outstanding acquisition request open at a time. See additional limitations.
- Use one of the various ways to access Settings.Select Tenants.From the parent tenant where you will manage your newly acquired target tenant, select Acquire New Tenant.
