ISV Admin

Tenant
An organization (typically a company or company division) that has, in essence, a virtual platform--an independent space, completely decoupled from other tenants.
System Admin
An system admin who can modify settings for a tenant's users and roles, along with other aspects of the tenant's system.
Teams
Users are members of one or more teams. Team members have specific roles within each team.
