Tenant Administrator (setting)

The Tenant Administrator is a special setting that can only be assigned to one AgilePoint ID in an instance of AgilePoint NX Portal. In the NX Portal, this user is referred to as the Tenant Administrator.

By default, in AgilePoint NX OnDemand (public cloud) the Tenant Administrator is the user who submits the initial request for the tenant. In AgilePoint NX OnPremises or AgilePoint NX Private Cloud, the AgilePoint NX System Administrator (AgilePoint System Account) assigns the Tenant Administrator when they provisions the tenant.
