vRA 7 multiple system admin user for creating tenants-best practise

Whats the right way to create multiple system admin users ...ie user other than administrator@vsphere.local for default tenant...ie that user when logs into default tenant should be able to see other tenants and assign IaaS and tenant admins also

Thanks and appreciate inputas

There is only one system administrator account, you can't create additional ones.

What's your use case for multiple tenants?

  1.    I guess the idea is to have an audit trail on system admin like activities instead of having generic admin user ...have a user who shows as having  created tenant etc , bestowing IaaS admin
  2. Why would a generic user like admin be the only user allowed to create multiple tenants and bestow IaaS and tenant admin rights ...?
  3. Multitenancy is the right way to separate data in motion and rest for different units we would like to have

Thanks and appreciate inputs

Another requirement is IPAM based workflows need access to default domain and tenant access to be able to enumerate  tenants id and names in some workflow calls using their Cloud API

admin@vsphere.local who has default system admin and who can enumerate tenants  is not a valid user once we sync the vRO7 with vRA 7  vIDM for authentication as  this pulls only Directory services and not local users..please suggest
