Manage tenants in Site Management
When logging on as a Site Management user, you have access to the Site Management console where you can define and manage all shared spaces (tenants).
Tip: See the Video gallery for a video on tenant administration.

Click the Sign in button. Site Management opens to the Tenants page. For details, see Manage tenants below.
Tip: To avoid having the same user name and password in OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering and the Site Management console, we recommend creating a new Site Management user and deleting the default configuration user from Site Management.
