Multi tenant implementation

[nikes]

Hi All,

Can any one explain what is multi tenancy in Alfresco?

I have read wiki pages but didn't understand in practical example way.

Has anybody implementaed MaultiTenant feature? In what type of requirement we can use MultiTenancy?

I am newbie to Alfresco….

Thanks,
Nikesh

A tenant could be summarized as a community (or company). So, tenants are independent from each other, with their users, ACLs (security), etc …

Hi,

Just looking into multi-tenancy, and I've got some questions:
- Is it possible to share custom-content-models across tenants?
- Can a script in the repository of one tenant acces data from another tenants repository?

We're testing Alfresco for a company with 3 large departments. Could I use a tenant for each department, or would it be better to just give them a different space? Most users from one department will never need documents from another department, but some do.

Kind regards
Mieke

I am not sure what is exposed via the Javascript interface but if you have a Java webscript, I do not see any reason why you could not do that.
