Abstract
Content management systems are implemented according to a multitenant architecture by which software and its supporting architecture serves multiple customers of a service. Each tenant may be given a share of the application's data, configuration, user management, and other aspects of the application. Each tenant's data is isolated and typically remains invisible to other tenants so that tenants do not share or see each other's data. Embodiments described herein provide mechanisms by which a tenant can delegate administrator rights to an external user such that the external user can grant other users access to the tenant's content while the tenant controls the level of access that is provided to the external users.
