Multi tenant application development

Hi,

From last week webinar, I gathered that the 5.6 version of Nuxeo will allow for multi-tenancy.

Can you point us in the right direction so we can make our application, which needs a container (similar to “Workspaces” to holds information accessible to all users of a domain) to be multi-tenant enabled?

Background:

  • Our application is a Record (Archive) Management application.
  • We place all RM artifacts (conservation rules, classification plan and nodes, etc.) in a container within the default-domain.
  • We have a custom high level tab (same level as “Document Management” and “Admin Center”)
  • We have many custom actions

Thanks,

Patrick

There is the Multi-tenant user-level documentation. Also you may be interested in using the MultiTenantHelper class to facilitate tenant management if you have to explicitly deal with them.

My question was more about the line of "when is it needed to explicitly deal with them"?

I see two use cases where we would want different behavior:

1) One big company, we want "centralised" classification (Record Management), but we may want to give a "domain" to each company branch. So in this case, we would want our application to not know that documents are stored in a multi-tenant system.

2) SaaS / hosting of our application for multiple tenants, which should not see anything about each others. Here, we would like our application to be multi-tenant aware.
