- All service accounts of a parent tenant are assigned the same parent tenant service group ID.
- All service accounts of a child tenant are assigned the same child tenant service group ID.
- All service accounts of a parent tenant are inherited by the parent’s child tenants, so the parent can manage the child.
- You can create service accounts in different tenant service groups if you want to assign different roles for different access permissions and also for future auditing purposes.

In the following example, the ExampleChildTenant is
specifically assigned a service account with the View Only Administrator
role for the Prisma Access application. The tenant service group
ID for this service account is common to this child tenant only.
The
ExampleChildTenant also inherits the service account from the ExampleParentTenant
with the MSP Superuser role for All Apps & Services, so that
the parent tenant can manage the child tenant. The tenant service
group for this service account is common to the parent tenant and
all child tenants of the parent tenant.
