Understanding Unified Assurance Multitenancy

In Oracle Communications Unified Assurance, multitenancy is the practice of a single organization with multiple users sharing a single installation and data set, but with controlled access to different parts of the data set for different users. For example, you could grant users access to only the data related to their relevant device group. Unified Assurance multitenancy is not the typical cloud computing multitenancy model, where multiple organizations share the same instance to view their own isolated data.

You set up multitenancy for your users by creating groups of Unified Assurance elements, creating user groups with appropriate roles, and defining which roles have access to which element groups by specifying restrictive IDs. You define multitenancy groups for the following elements:

• Devices

• Dashboards

• Diagrams

• Event filters

• Links

• Context menus and tools for:

  • Events

  • Topology graphs

  • Vision markers

Some components of Unified Assurance do not support multitenancy:

• Components in the Analytics menu that use Grafana and Kibana:

  • Event Analytics

  • Flow Analytics

  • Metric Analytics

  • Vision (though you can control which custom menus and tools users have access to)

• Topology graphs and graph dashboards (though you can control which custom menus and tools users have access to)
