Multi-tenant patterns for IT tools
Practical multi-tenant patterns: scoping data by organization, controlling admin access, and avoiding cross-tenant leakage.
If multiple organizations use the same tool, tenant scoping must be consistent and enforced everywhere.
Prefer strong tenant identifiers (org ID) over email-domain heuristics when available.
Key points
- Enforce tenant scoping at the data layer
- Prefer org IDs when available
- Audit admin access paths
