Tenants
A tenant is an organization or entity that handles credential and verification templates, issues credentials, and initiates verification proof requests. Tenants remain separate from other tenants in the system, ensuring privacy and security. For example, a large global fintech company providing services like digital banking, payments, and insurance could create separate tenants for internal departments (such as HR, Finance, and Marketing) and customer demographics (like North America and Europe regions). This allows tenants to independently issue, manage, and verify credentials while maintaining security and privacy and ensuring compliance with region-specific regulations where applicable.
