Hi,  
We are starting to build our SaaS solution and require authentication as a service solution.  
We have a few types of customers where some a small/medium type and require regular authentication. meaning username/password + client\_id and secret type of authentication.

On the other hand, we are going to have enterprise customers who already have their own authentication method and would like to implement SSO - each customer with his own SSO provider.

Looking at the documentation it is unclear on how I can achieve that using Auth 0.  
Can you please help and specify how is it possible to create multiple tenants in Auth 0?

Thanks,  
Miki.

Hey @miki!

Have you checked our docs on multi tenant apps?

Here they are:

> **[Multi-Tenant Applications Best Practices](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/auth0-overview/create-tenants/multi-tenant-apps-best-practices)**
>
> Describes best practices for how to use Auth0 to secure your multi-tenant applications.

> **[How To Use Auth0 To Manage Your Multi-Tenant Application](https://auth0.com/blog/how-to-use-auth0-to-manage-your-multi-tenancy-application/)**
>
> Using multi-tenancy you can cut costs and still allow your customers strict control over their data

Let me know if that’s helpful!

Hi @konrad.sopala,  
Yes, I read the docs. They specify that I should maintain my tenants via `app_metadata` for example.  
This is ok as long as I don’t use SSO but a single DB connection for all my tenants.

What I’m trying to figure out is how to do that but still, allow different SSO methods/providers per tenant.  
Since app\_metadata is available after the login, I need a way to assign a user/application to a tenant before the login procedure so I can redirect the user to tenant SSO provider.

Is that possible or do you have a different way to achieve that?

Also, in the API docs there is a tenant entity, but in the UI the is no way to create one.

Thanks,  
Miki.
