If you're a managed security service provider (MSSP) or distributed enterprise with a
multitenant hierarchy, you can now move a tenant that is part of your tenant
hierarchy to a different location. You can do this by
moving an internal tenant. Any tenant is
considered an internal tenant if it's within your tenant hierarchy, and you have
superuser access to the source and target tenants. It's possible to move tenants
within the same top-most, root-level, parent tenant or intermediate tenants of your
hierarchy. You would move an internal tenant primarily in the case of testing,
demonstrations, reorgs, correcting mistakes, and more.
If you're a managed security service provider (MSSP) or distributed enterprise with a
multitenant hierarchy, you can also 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.
