# Assign multiple tenants to an owner
In some scenarios, it's likely that a single team is responsible for multiple lines of business. For example, in our sample organization Acme Corp., Alice is responsible for both the Oil and Gas lines of business. It's more likely that Alice requires two different tenants, for example `oil` and `gas` to keep things isolated.
By design, the Capsule operator does not permit hierarchy of tenants, since all tenants are at the same levels. However, we can assign the ownership of multiple tenants to the same user or group of users.
Bill, the cluster admin, creates multiple tenants having `alice` as owner:
```yaml
apiVersion: capsule.clastix.io/v1alpha1
kind: Tenant
metadata:
name: oil
spec:
owner:
name: alice
kind: User
namespaceQuota: 3
```
and
```yaml
apiVersion: capsule.clastix.io/v1alpha1
kind: Tenant
metadata:
name: gas
spec:
owner:
name: alice
kind: User
namespaceQuota: 9
```
So that
```
bill@caas# kubectl get tenants
NAME NAMESPACE QUOTA NAMESPACE COUNT OWNER NAME OWNER KIND NODE SELECTOR AGE
oil 3 3 alice User 3h
gas 9 0 alice User 1m
```
Alternatively, the ownership can be assigned to a group called `oil-and-gas`:
```yaml
apiVersion: capsule.clastix.io/v1alpha1
kind: Tenant
metadata:
name: oil
spec:
owner:
name: oil-and-gas
kind: Group
namespaceQuota: 3
```
and
```yaml
apiVersion: capsule.clastix.io/v1alpha1
kind: Tenant
metadata:
name: gas
spec:
owner:
name: oil-and-gas
kind: Group
namespaceQuota: 9
```
So that
```
bill@caas# kubectl get tenants
NAME NAMESPACE QUOTA NAMESPACE COUNT OWNER NAME OWNER KIND NODE SELECTOR AGE
oil 3 3 oil-and-gas Group 3h
gas 9 0 oil-and-gas Group 1m
```
The two tenants still remain isolated each other in terms of resources assignments, e.g. _ResourceQuota_, _Nodes Pool_, _Storage Calsses_ and _Ingress Classes_, and in terms of governance, e.g. _NetworkPolicies_, _PodSecurityPolicies_, _Trusted Registries_, etc.
When Alice logs in CaaS platform, she has access to all namespaces belonging to both the `oil` and `gas` tenants.
```
alice@caas# kubectl create ns oil-production
alice@caas# kubectl create ns gas-production
```
When the enforcement of the naming convention with the `--force-tenant-prefix` option, is enabled, the namespaces are automatically assigned to the right tenant by Capsule because the operator does a lookups on the tenant names. If the `--force-tenant-prefix` option, is not set, Alice needs to specify the tenant name as a label `capsule.clastix.io/tenant=<desired_tenant>` in the namespace manifest:
```yaml
cat <<EOF > gas-production-ns.yaml
kind: Namespace
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
name: gas-production
labels:
capsule.clastix.io/tenant: gas
EOF
kubectl create -f gas-production-ns.yaml
```
> If not specified, Capsule will deny with the following message:
>
>`Unable to assign namespace to tenant. Please use capsule.clastix.io/tenant label when creating a namespace.`
# Whats next
This end our tour in Capsule use cases. As we improve Capsule, more use cases about multi-tenancy, policy admission control, and cluster governance will be covered in the future. Stay tuned!
