Create a tenant

Tenants are the live sites of your customer. Learn how to create them manually in this article.

Tenants are the actual sites that you link to live domains. You can edit these sites and add a domain to them. 

Tenants are always based on a specific snapshot (be it a normal snapshot or a tenant snapshot) and always live in a version (defining their plugins, themes and language files). All tenants have their own backups and their own databases.

Note 1: Snapshots on which the tenants are based, determine the starting points of the tenant and the database.

Note 2: All code is shared and controlled via the version, therefore, you cannot install, update or delete plugins or themes on tenants.

In this documentation, we will explore the steps to create a tenant.
