Implementing Multi-Tenancy in Payload CMS

Multi-tenancy in Payload CMS allows managing multiple tenants (clients, organizations) within a single CMS instance.

Setting Up Multi-Tenancy

Define a tenant field to associate content with different tenants:

const Posts = {
 slug: 'posts',
 fields: [
  { name: 'tenant', type: 'text', required: true },
  { name: 'title', type: 'text', required: true },
 ],
 access: {
  read: ({ req }) => ({ tenant: req.user.tenant }),
 },
};

Why Use Multi-Tenancy?

• Data Isolation: Separate content for different clients.
• Scalability: Serve multiple customers from a single CMS instance.
• Improved Access Control: Restrict content based on user roles.

Conclusion

Implementing multi-tenancy in Payload CMS ensures data separation and efficient management for different clients within the same CMS instance.
