Enterprises

Enterprises are the tenants of Rapida MDM 2.0. Each one keeps its data models, tables, records, and user assignments fully isolated: multi-tenancy built in from the first click.

What is an Enterprise?

An Enterprise sits at the top of the hierarchy. It represents any organizational boundary whose data should stay separate: a company, a subsidiary, a region, a brand. Every data model, table, record, and user assignment in the system lives inside exactly one enterprise.

In practice, you create one enterprise per major boundary in your business: one per subsidiary, one per country, or however your organization naturally divides. Because user access is granted enterprise by enterprise, this is also where isolation between business units is enforced.

The Enterprises screen

Enterprises appear as a grid of cards, each showing the enterprise's initials, name, short identifier, description, and creation date. Deactivated enterprises are shown faintly with a (Deactivated) suffix, but only when you choose to reveal them.

The toolbar gives you three controls:

Search — type any part of a name or description to filter the grid instantly.
Show deactivated — a toggle that reveals soft-deleted enterprises, hidden by default.
+ Create Enterprise — opens the creation dialog. Visible to Admins, SuperAdmins, and Editors only.

Creating an enterprise

Click + Create Enterprise, provide a Name (which must be unique) and an optional Description to help others understand its scope, then click Create.

Name already taken by a deactivated enterprise? If you try to create an enterprise whose name matches one that was previously deactivated, the dialog offers a Reactivate & Restore action instead, bringing the original back with all its contents rather than creating a confusing duplicate.

The first user becomes Admin Whoever creates an enterprise is automatically assigned as its Admin, even without being a SuperAdmin. This makes self-service onboarding possible: a team can stand up its own tenant without a ticket to IT.

Managing an enterprise

Each card carries a three-dot menu (⋮), visible only to users who can edit that enterprise. From it you can Edit the name or description, Delete (which soft-deactivates; see below), or Reactivate a deactivated enterprise.

Deletion is deactivation, never destruction

Rapida MDM 2.0 never hard-deletes an enterprise. Clicking Delete hides the enterprise and everything inside it from all views, but the data remains safely in the database. To bring it back, enable Show deactivated and choose Reactivate from the card menu. Nothing is lost.

Cascade behavior Deactivating an enterprise also hides all of its data models, tables, records, and integrations. Reactivating it restores the entire tree in one action.

Common questions

How many enterprises should we create?

One per boundary where data and access should be isolated. If two business units share the same customers and the same stewards, they probably belong in one enterprise with separate data models. If they must not see each other's data, give each its own enterprise.

Is deleted data really recoverable?

Yes. Deletion is always a soft deactivation: the enterprise and everything inside it are hidden, not removed. Enable Show deactivated and choose Reactivate to restore the full contents at any time.

Can one user work across several enterprises?

Yes. Users are assigned per enterprise, and can hold different roles in each, for example Admin of one enterprise and Viewer of another. SuperAdmins have access to all enterprises implicitly.

Why can't I see the Create button?

The + Create Enterprise button is shown only to Admins, SuperAdmins, and Editors. If you are a Viewer, ask an administrator to create the enterprise or upgrade your role.
