Tenantmanaged

Tenantmanaged refers to a software architecture or service model where the responsibility for managing and maintaining specific aspects of a multi-tenant application is delegated to the individual tenants themselves, rather than being solely handled by the application provider. In this model, each tenant has a degree of control over their own instance or environment within the shared application.

This can manifest in various ways. For example, tenants might be responsible for their own data backups, user access controls, customization of certain application features, or even the deployment of specific add-ons. This contrasts with fully managed solutions where the provider handles all operational aspects for all tenants.

The primary benefits of a tenantmanaged approach include increased flexibility and customization for tenants, allowing them to tailor the application to their unique needs. It can also potentially reduce the operational burden on the application provider by distributing some management tasks. However, it requires tenants to have a certain level of technical expertise or resources to effectively manage their allocated responsibilities. This can also introduce variability in how the application is maintained across different tenants, potentially posing challenges for the provider in ensuring consistent security and performance across the entire platform. The specific scope of tenant management is typically defined by the application's design and the service level agreements in place.
