Tenant Management Function Details
1. Tenant
Create one tenant for each AWS account.
Users can operate and view information on the tenant's AWS account by belonging to the tenant. Users who belong to a tenant are called tenant users. Users may belong to multiple tenants.
Operations allowed for tenant users on the AWS account for the tenant are based on the roles. There are three roles for tenant users; "Administrator," "Operator" and "Viewer."
See below table for relationship between roles and allowed operations for tenant users.

- Setting a “Permission” for each tenant for operations
You can delete permission of roles for each tenant by operation.
For instance, a user who is assigned the "Administrator" role for a tenant has a permission to execute the operation "create a new tenant" by default, but a group user can change this permission to "not-authorized" for this operation. The tenant user who is set as “Permission” cannot “create a new tenant” even if “Administrator” role is assigned.
- Configure the Upper limit Role allowed for tenant users
The Upper limit Role is configured for each tenant. By default, the Upper limit Role is “Administrator,” which means that tenant users belong to the tenant may have “Administrator” role at the highest. When a group user changes their highest role level to “operator,” the highest role level assigned to the tenant users should be “operator” (i.e. they can be assigned only “operator” and “viewer”; not “management”).
Group users cannot belong to other groups.
Group users cannot be tenant users.
You cannot change the permission settings for operations on groups.
