Multi Tenancy in Totara Learn v13

Hello,

we are looking forward to Totara Learn v13 because multi tenancy is a very important feature for us. Since multi tenancy is understood very different i have 2 questions.

  • Will v13 enable tenant administrators to import users only for the tenant? I am sure a tenant administrator is able to create and update new users.
  • Will it be possible to have different programs, certifications, etc. for different tenants (a clear separation between tenants even if it is not separated through different databases)? 
  • If i understand the public comparison right then it is not possible with v13 to customize color and logo for each tenant?


Best regards

Manuel

Hi Manuell

In the multitenancy feature that will initially be included in Totara 13 

  • Users will be able to be uploaded by Global Site administrators rather than tenant administrators. This can be achieved using the upload users or HR Import and specifying a user as a tenant member or tenant participant.
  • There is a setting isolation mode that enables users and content only to be accessible to users who are associated with the tenant . Note that when tenant isolation is enabled performance management functionality (e.g. appraisals or goals) and learning plans will not be available.
  • Each tenant can have a dashboard associated with it where blocks for logos and colours can be set. A tenant theme is a feature request that we are looking to implement.

Hi Craig,


thank you for the details and as i have seen there is a new page with further information (https://help.totaralearning.com/display/DEV/Totara+13+notable+technical+changes).

You mentioned that a tenant administrator is able to add users and content only for the tenant. I am not sure if the isolation mode also includes programs and certifications? So, can a tenant adminstrator create programs and certifications only for that explicit tenant? 

The background is that there could be different requirements for different subcompanies (tenants) which in best case would be possible to manage on tenant level.


Best regards

Hi Manuell

Good news, there will be a new feature ready in  Totara 13 to allow tenant user managers to add new users in bulk by CSV file with the following requirements

  • Usernames and emails should be globally unique
  • Users added through this tool would become tenant members

Isolation mode includes programs and certifications so would fit your requirement.
