# Multi-tenant administration

> **Does this category apply to me?** Skip it if your subscription includes one tenant. To check: admin console → Settings → look at the subscription / tenant-count entitlement, or confirm in [My Qlik](https://my.qlik.com/) under your subscription. Single-tenant customers can ignore this entire category.

This category covers tasks that apply when an admin (or admin team) is responsible for **more than one Qlik Cloud tenant** under the same subscription. Typical scenarios documented by Qlik include:

* **OEM, ISV, and Digital Native Business partners** providing analytics to multiple end customers, where Qlik's product description requires a separate tenant per organization. ([Single vs multiple tenants](https://qlik.dev/manage/oem/solution-architecture/single-multi-tenant/))
* **Enterprise customers** running Dev / Test / Acceptance / Production (DTAP) environments, multi-region deployments for performance, or extranet (corporate vs. external) separation. ([Platform operations overview](https://qlik.dev/manage/platform-operations/overview/))
* **Qlik Talend Cloud subscriptions** purchased on or after July 22, 2025, which automatically create and link the Qlik Cloud and Talend Cloud tenants during setup. ([Creating and configuring your tenant](https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Introduction/qcs-tenant-domain.htm))

Qlik's guidance is that each end customer in an OEM or Enterprise external-use deployment should have its own Qlik Cloud tenant: putting multiple end customers into a single tenant exposes user names, email addresses, and IdP subject identifiers across customers.
