  • From the Application dropdown menu, select
    Platform
    .
  • From the Service dropdown menu, select
    IAM
    .

    Tenants
     section.

Creating a customer tenant

There are several steps required for the creation of a tenant. These steps depend whether or not the new tenant is a basic setup with no applications deployed, or if it is a full setup including the required applications that you need to enable for your customer tenant.
This API creates a tenant, and it should only be used from the service provider tenant.
  • Method:
     POST
  • API:
     /tenants
  • Parameters:
Name
Required
Description
Type
dry_run
No
The ID of the tenant to be updated
Boolean
initial_user
Yes
Email of the user to be the tenant admin  (receives notification to activate tenant)
String
tenant

The tenant structure
Object
validate_fields
No
User interface validation purposes
Array of string
To create a basic setup with no applications, use the following payload in application/json format, as an example:
You can run the
PUT API
 later to update and add apps to this basic tenant.
{  "tenant": {    "name": "mytenant",    "url": "mytenant.multicloud-ibm.com",    "global_idp": "KYNW3",    "type": "client",    "service_instances": []  },  "initial_user": "[email protected]"}
To create a full tenant with the required applications, there are two steps that you need to complete.
Step 1:
 Query the catalog API.
Scroll to the Brokers API section, and run the following API:
  • Method:
     GET
  • API:
     /catalogs
  • Try it out
From the response body copy the broker information needed to include in the payload for the following step.
Kyndryl's application catalog is based on the Open Service Broker (OSB) API specification, and it shows the inventory of applications that are available to deploy in your tenant and the descriptions of the parameters needed to run Step 2. Also, some applications have dependencies that need to be considere
Step 2:
 Build the service instances payload based on the parameters fetched in Step 1.
Imagine that you want to create a new tenant with the DevOps application enabled. Use the following payload in application/json format as an example: 
{  ...  ...  "service_instances": [    {      "broker": "mcmp:devops-intelligence:service",      "service_id": "0285bec9-9993-409e-9a39-3127c3c803f3",      "plan_id": "ce6e1d83-61f3-40aa-a2d5-45e6678e78d2",      "parameters": {      "non-connection-param1-key": "value1",      ...      ...      }    }  ]}
