Abstract
Directory information and content for two separate tenants are merged by identifying a first of tenants as a hub tenant and a second of the tenants as a satellite tenant. The hub tenant is modified to include two instances, or data containers, one instance for the hub tenant and another instance for the satellite tenant. Directory merger logic re-associates identity account items in the satellite instance, with the hub instance, by replacing a tenant identifier in the identity account items of the satellite instance with a tenant identifier corresponding to the hub instance. Unique identifiers for users of the satellite instance are maintained unchanged. Content merger logic re-associates content items of the satellite instance with the hub instance by setting a tenant identifier for all satellite content items to the tenant identifier corresponding to the hub instance. A tenant identifier corresponding to backend services that support the content items can be updated to the tenant identifier corresponding to the hub instance as well.
