Dashboard-Related Terminology

Account

Represents a user, their credentials, and (optionally) a profile and other attributes

Tenant

A logical isolation unit of the products we offer. e.g. a tenant of Auth0 would be foo.auth0.com vs. another tenant bar.auth0.com.

Subscription

Defines custom terms; this is a contract or service plan e.g. trial, free, developer or developer-pro

Within Appliance subscriptions

  • Auth0 tenants refers to regular cloud tenants
  • Private instances refers to appliance instances

TL;DR

Generally speaking, unless you're referring to MFA configuration, payment options, or user profiles (for the owner of the account), you'll use tenant, not account.
