Using organizations to build SaaS multi-tenant app
In multi-tenant SaaS apps, “organization” is used to group users and resources, important for apps serving different clients or companies. This entity simplifies customer identity management and supports effective B2B multi-tenant management.
How does multi-tenant authentication work?
B2B SaaS apps often use multi-tenant architecture, where each business is a tenant. Within each tenant, there are employees or collaborators, not just consumers.
A centralized and easier user management
In a multi-tenant app, you can use a single identity system to centralize the identity management by your developers but also give each tenant ability to manage on its own.
Enhanced data isolation and privacy
Tenant isolation is fundamental to the design and development of software as a service (SaaS) systems. Using organizations to separate tenants in multi-tenant environments ensures data privacy and compliance with regulations.
Invitations and collaboration to boost B2B Growth
Multi-tenant SaaS apps often come with features like invitations and role-based access control. These features support B2B growth and enhance collaboration.
