Manage Root Organizations (Tenants)

Note

Tenants will now be referred to as Root Organizations.

This change is to ensure consistency across our documentation and to better reflect the hierarchical structure of organizations.

WSO2 Identity Server, by default, is configured with a single root organization named carbon.super. If you have the required permissions, you can configure more root organizations and maintain multiple isolated user bases on a single server/cluster at the same time.

Use REST APIs to manage root organizations

WSO2 Identity Server also offers REST APIs to conveniently manage root organizations. To try out the Tenant Management REST API, refer here.
