Managing Tenants

Important

This page only shows some frequently used operations.

Tenants, like namespaces, can be managed using the admin API. There are currently two configurable aspects of tenants:

  • Admin roles
  • Allowed clusters

Tenant resources​

List​

You can list all of the tenants associated with an instance.

Use the list subcommand.


$ pulsar-admin tenants list
my-tenant-1
my-tenant-2

Create​

You can create a new tenant.

Use the create subcommand:


$ pulsar-admin tenants create my-tenant

When creating a tenant, you can optionally assign admin roles using the -r/--admin-roles flag, and clusters using the -c/--allowed-clusters flag. You can specify multiple values as a comma-separated list. Here are some examples:


$ pulsar-admin tenants create my-tenant \
  --admin-roles role1,role2,role3 \
  --allowed-clusters cluster1

$ pulsar-admin tenants create my-tenant \
  -r role1
  -c cluster1

Get configuration​

You can fetch the configuration for an existing tenant at any time.

Use the get subcommand and specify the name of the tenant. Here's an example:


$ pulsar-admin tenants get my-tenant
{
  "adminRoles": [
    "admin1",
    "admin2"
  ],
  "allowedClusters": [
    "cl1",
    "cl2"
  ]
}

Delete​

Tenants can be deleted from a Pulsar instance.

Use the delete subcommand and specify the name of the tenant.


$ pulsar-admin tenants delete my-tenant

Update​

You can update a tenant's configuration.

Use the update subcommand.


$ pulsar-admin tenants update my-tenant
