Tenancy is mostly transparent in a single-tenant environment where users and features are managed from the default system tenant. Nevertheless, tenant and elevated permissions were introduced with support for multitenancy. Tenant permissions support the ability of administrators to provision and manage users, while elevated permissions support the ability of administrators to execute other administrative tasks, such as throttling and logging. By granting such permissions to other users, the system administrator can delegate administrative tasks and responsibilities.
Note: As an alternative to using the default system tenant, a system administrator could create a child tenant in the system tenant. This child tenant could function as a single, dedicated tenant from which users and features are managed.
