Add Users to An Area
When you add users, create user names using the email address format. This
will ensure that all user names are unique. Otherwise two people named Bob
Smith belonging to different tenants may end up with the same user name. By
following an email address format, Bob Smith in TenantA could have
bsmith@tenantA.com as a user name and Bob Smith in TenantB could have
bsmith@tenantB.com.
Configure Site Topology
You can use site topology to limit the bandwidth used by each tenant. This can
be accomplished with a combination of a carefully organized site topology and
the Site Statistics tool.
You can assign a site to a particular area. A site cannot be shared between
areas.
Use the following guidelines:
• As a best practice, use a naming convention that identifies the area in the
site name. For example, all sites in the blue area should be named
blue_<sitename>
.
• Site names should be unique across the system. That is, two areas should
not use the same site name.
• At a minimum, each site in an area should have a site link to the service
provider or the internet cloud. It is best practice that the purpose of each
link be obvious from the site link name. Any site link being used to
measure bandwidth for a specific tenant should be named in such a way
as to make this purpose clear.
