Adding Sites (Multi-Tenant Business Hub)

 

The multi-tenant version of the Business Hub enables you to manage multiple companies (referred to as sites in the multi-tenant console) from the same top-level account (Company account). Using a multi-tenant Hub thus provides a global overview of the companies within, with global configuration/management in several areas to provide a single location to manage companies, rather than having to drill down into each of them.

For instance, you can create a global policy and assign it to multiple sites to allow fully centralized control of settings, while still having the option to locally customize the policy at sites level. You can also easily monitor and manage all your sites' alerts from the multi-tenant console's top-level dashboard.

 

To add a site to your multi-tenant console, go to the top-level (company) Dashboard and click +Site in the top right corner.

In the Create Site drawer that opens, enter the site name and edit the country if needed (by default, the country information will be copied from the top-level account). You will also need to choose how to manage the site (using global or local policies).

If there are already existing global policies, you can select one to apply to the site via the drop-down menu.

Using local policies instead, you can choose one of the two default Avast templates (for workstations or for servers) or select an existing local template from another site.

Once the site is created, it will be opened directly at the Subscriptions page.

The site will also become an entry on the left-hand site selection pane and on the top-level Dashboard.

Instead of, or as well as using multi-tenant/partner accounts, console administrators can add and manage multiple single-tenant and multi-tenant console accounts (companies) from the same Business Hub login.
