How To Build A Multi-tenant Application With A CMS

AdvancedQuick Answer

TL;DR

Building a multi-tenant application with a CMS means creating a system where multiple tenants (clients, organizations, brands) share the same CMS infrastructure but have isolated content. Use separate datasets per tenant for full isolation, or a shared dataset with tenant ID fields for efficiency. Implement tenant-aware authentication, content filtering by tenant, and tenant-specific configurations. The CMS API should enforce tenant boundaries so users only access their own content.

Key Takeaways

  • Tenant-aware authentication and authorization
  • Content filtering: ensuring API queries are scoped to the correct tenant
  • Tenant management: onboarding, configuration, customization per tenant
