Phased rollout This version is currently available to SaaS customers only. It will be available to on-premises customers soon.

Setting up tenants


As a SaaS administrator, to enable the single sign-on experience for the customer company, you must first create a tenant on the BMC Helix Single Sign-On server, and then proceed with the onboarding tasks for this tenant.

The default tenant

The SAAS TENANT is the default tenant, which is available on the BMC Helix SSO server. Only a SaaS administrator has access to this tenant. 

The SAAS TENANT has a predefined name and host, which you cannot modify. You cannot disable this tenant. You can only modify the default description.
