Deploy content to tenant organizations

You can deploy documents to tenant organizations from parent organizations or other tenant organizations. Documents deployed to a tenant organization are automatically updated when the source document is published (or a new version is tagged) in the source organization, and cannot be edited in the receiving tenant organization.

Which documents gets deployed and how to swap the data sources used by the relevant documents is defined in a deployment policy. You can create multiple deployment policies to manage which documents to deploy to which tenants, and tenants can receive documents from multiple deployment policies.

Each deployment policy creates a workspace in each tenant that receives the deployed documents, so you can manage user access to deployed documents by changing permissions on the workspace in the tenant.

What gets deployed to a tenant

Sigma currently supports sharing documents (workbooks and data models) with the following contents:

• Custom functions
• Plug-ins (workbooks only)
• Input tables (workbooks only, data is not copied over)
• Stored procedure actions (workbooks only)
• Metrics, relationships, and column-level security settings (data models only)

In addition, data models and datasets used as data sources of deployed documents are also automatically deployed. Data models deployed as data sources of workbooks are visible in tenant organizations, but datasets are unavailable for use.

After a document is deployed, it is automatically updated when the source document is published or a new version is tagged. A deployed document cannot be edited in the tenant organization, but users with the relevant permissions can save a deployed document as a new document in the tenant, or create workbooks that use deployed data models as a data source.

Additional limitations apply when deploying documents. Review Recreate settings after deploying documents.

Manage deployed documents

Before you deploy documents to a tenant organization, make sure that each tenant organization has a connection to one or more data sources, and that the connection has been synced.

Deploy content to tenant organizations

You can deploy content to tenant organizations from a parent organization, or from another tenant organization.

To deploy content from a parent to one or more tenants, see Deploy content from a parent organization to one or more tenants.

Example deployment configurations

Depending on how you plan to use Sigma Tenants, you might set up different deployment configurations. For end-to-end examples and detailed configuration steps for common use cases, see Deployment use cases and examples.
