Tenants and events

An event is a single game session. A tenant is the account that lets you create and manage events. This page explains the relationship.

An event is a single game session you run for participants. A tenant is the platform account that lets you create and manage events. You requested an event. We created a tenant so you could run that event and any others you want later.

This page is for hosts who saw the word "tenant" after requesting an event and want to know what it is and whether they need to care.

The hierarchy

See the tenant hierarchy for the full picture. The short version: a tenant holds classrooms, classrooms hold games, and a game is the thing participants play. The game session is the event.

When you "run an event," you're using your tenant's dashboard to open a classroom, create or open a game, and share that game's join link with participants.

Why the request form doesn't mention tenants

The form at kc7cyber.com/gameon asks one practical question. When do you want to run your event? Tenant terminology only shows up after approval, in the dashboard. You don't need it to run a single event.

You can ignore most tenant features and still run successful events. The platform terminology exists for hosts who go on to run multiple events, build classrooms, or delegate to co-instructors.

How most hosts experience the difference

Stage	What you think you're doing	What's actually happening
First event	Running a KC7 event on Friday	Using your tenant to open a classroom that holds the game link
Second or third event	Running another event next month	Logging into the tenant, opening the same classroom, creating a second game
Building a program	Running monthly beginner sessions and quarterly advanced workshops	Managing a tenant with multiple classrooms, each holding several games

When to think in event terms versus tenant terms

Think in event terms when you're planning event day, inviting participants, running the session, or supporting people through it.

Think in tenant terms when you're adding new games, creating classrooms for different groups, managing co-hosts, reviewing analytics across events, or planning program structure.

How the docs are split

The docs follow the same split:

• Hosting an event covers planning, running, and supporting participants.

• The tenant section (you're in it now) covers dashboards, classrooms, users, and analytics.

You might use one section heavily and never touch the other.

Next steps

• Open your dashboard for the first time

• Add another game

• Plan your event day
