Tenant Configuration

The privacy portal/ tenant screen is where the customers and employees can place privacy requests. A tenant can be configured in different ways using various customizations like Act, request types, requestors, and more, through the DSAR Configuration option, for placing different requests.

Some parts of the portal can be differentiated based on the requestor types, requests, and more. These customizations are also possible through the tenant configuration screen.
