Configuring the Tenant Bounding Set Mapping property
The tenant bounding set is a multi-value property that can include multiple tenant IDs.
You configure this property in IBM® Cognos® Configuration by using one of the following methods:
- Configuring the tenant bounding set that is based on a user account attribute
- Configuring the tenant bounding set that is based on a custom provider
Disabled tenants are present in the bounding set if the user is a system administrator. Deleted tenants are automatically removed from the bounding set.
You can apply this setting globally, to all configured namespaces, or to individual namespaces. Multitenancy properties for a specific namespace override any multitenancy properties that are set globally, at the Authentication level in IBM Cognos Configuration.
Tip: The Tenant ID Mapping and Tenant
Bounding Set Mapping properties can have independent implementations.
For example, you can use the position of a user within a hierarchy
to determine the Tenant ID Mapping property
and use a custom provider to determine the Tenant Bounding
Set Mapping property. However, in most implementations
both properties should contain tenant IDs of the same type, for example,
department number.
