# Tenants
|
|
|
|
A tenant represents a discrete entity for administrative purposes. Typically, tenants are used to represent individual customers or internal departments within an organization. The following objects can be assigned to tenants:
|
|
|
|
* Sites
|
|
* Racks
|
|
* Rack reservations
|
|
* Devices
|
|
* VRFs
|
|
* Prefixes
|
|
* IP addresses
|
|
* VLANs
|
|
* Circuits
|
|
* Virtual machines
|
|
|
|
Tenant assignment is used to signify ownership of an object in NetBox. As such, each object may only be owned by a single tenant. For example, if you have a firewall dedicated to a particular customer, you would assign it to the tenant which represents that customer. However, if the firewall serves multiple customers, it doesn't *belong* to any particular customer, so tenant assignment would not be appropriate.

### Tenant Groups
|
|
|
|
Tenants can be organized by custom groups. For instance, you might create one group called "Customers" and one called "Acquisitions." The assignment of tenants to groups is optional.
