# Create a tenant

> Create objects that own dashboards and can view dashboards owned by other tenants

Tenants do two things in the Quill platform. 1. separate data in a dashboard 2. allow certain organizations, users, etc to see specific reports in a dashboard. To learn more about tenancy read more [here](/docs/bi-platform/overview#2-tenant).

<Callout type="info">
  Tenants are the core concept for multi-tenancy in Quill. Each tenant
  represents a separate organization, user, etc.

### Tenant Configuration

#### 2. Division

* **Row** (most common) - Each organization will have its own rows in a table via foreign key, `organization_id`
* **Schema** - Each organization has its own schema
* **Database** - Each organization has its own database instance

#### 3. Roles

* **Owner** - Owner is how dashboard data is divided
* **Viewer** - Viewer can see some list of dashboards
