  2. On the Tenants page, click Create tenant

Create tenant button

  1. Provide the following information:

    1. Name: Provide a name for the tenant.

      1. This can be any value, but we recommend naming it something related to the kind of activity the tenant will host.

      2. For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll call it Example Tenant.

    2. Description: Provide a description of the tenant (optional)

      1. Though this is optional, it’s best practice to provide a description of the kind of activity the tenant hosts.

    3. From ECS: Select “From ECS” from the dropdown to select a configuration. For more information, see: Create a tenant configuration file in Socotra EC

  2. See the screenshot below for an example of how your form should look.
