Zone Sharing allows an Org organization to share its Zone(s) zones with other Orgsorganizations. This allows enables other Orgs organizations to give grant their Users users access to your Zones, providing privacy of segregated User databases and reducing the burden of a Landlord who does not zones, maintaining separate user databases for privacy and reducing the landlord's need to manage the individual Tenant Userstenant users.

How to Share Zones
Create a Zone with only the Entries you wish to share.
Enter the Org ID number in the “Organizations to share with” field, then click Save.
Once the Zone has been Shared, it will now be selectable by the Tenant Org, allowing them to provide their Users / Access Groups access to the Zone.

Note: Zones that are shared by the Landlord to Tenants cannot also support non-zone shared entries/zones that have the same users in the landlord Org on the same Core smart hub. |
Reporting
The Landlord has access to all event history at their Entries. The Tenants do not have visibility to history unless explicitly given access from the Landlord.
If a Tenant should have access to run Reports or view Dashboards the Landlord can explicitly add the Tenant User to the Landlord Org with a limited scope (permissions), only allowing them access to Dashboards and Reports. In this case, it is often a good idea to segregate the Landlord Org into Sites and set up Role(s) for Tenant Report Admins using the ‘Limit to specific sites’ option, preventing Tenants from viewing information for Zones that are not relevant to them. Note that the ‘Limit to specific sites’ option requires Premium or Enterprise licensing on the Landlord Org.
