Buckets and tenants

An HCP repository is partitioned into buckets. A bucket is a logical grouping of objects such that the objects in one bucket are not visible in any other bucket. Buckets are also called namespaces.

Buckets provide a mechanism for separating the data stored for different applications, business units, or customers. For example, you could have one bucket for accounts receivable and another for accounts payable.

Buckets also enable operations to work against selected subsets of objects. For example, you could perform a query that targets the accounts receivable and accounts payable buckets but not the employees bucket.

Buckets are owned and managed by administrative entities called tenants. A tenant typically corresponds to an organization, such as a company or a division or department within a company.

In addition to being owned by a tenant, each bucket can have an owner that corresponds to an individual HCP user. The owner of a bucket automatically has permission to perform certain operations on that bucket.
