Understanding Tenants

Discover what your KC7 tenant is and how it enables you to run unlimited games and build comprehensive cybersecurity programs

If you just finished your first event, you might be wondering: "What's this 'tenant' thing I keep seeing mentioned?" Here's the good news: you already have one. When you got approved for your first event, we gave you a complete platform for running unlimited games. You're not locked into just one event - you can build an entire cybersecurity program if you want.

What Just Happened When You Got Approved

When you requested your first event, we created a full organizational account called a "tenant" - not just access to one game. You can now run unlimited events, organize them into classrooms, and build an ongoing program if you want. Many hosts run just one event; others discover the platform's full capabilities and expand. Your tenant grows with your needs.

What's a Tenant, Really?

Your tenant is your organization's home base in KC7. It's where you:

• Run multiple events (not just one)

• Organize different groups (different classes, departments, or skill levels)

• Track long-term progress (see how participants improve over time)

• Build your cybersecurity education program (if you choose to expand)

Good news! Your tenant is already set up with your first event ready to go. You automatically received a full KC7 tenant when your event was approved. This isn't just for one event - it's your platform for running unlimited games and building a complete cybersecurity program if you want!

The Structure (If You're Curious)

Your tenant organizes everything using a simple hierarchy:

Your Tenant (Your Organization)
├── Classroom 1 (e.g., "Spring 2024 Intro Class")
│   ├── Game 1: A Scandal in Valdoria
│   ├── Game 2: Advanced Module
│   └── Game 3: Final Challenge
├── Classroom 2 (e.g., "Summer Camp")
│   └── Game 1: Beginner Module
└── Classroom 3 (e.g., "Staff Training")
    └── Game 1: Security Awareness

Right now, you have one classroom with one game. That's all you need for your first event. But when you're ready to add more - maybe a second session of the same game, or trying a different module, or organizing a new group - the structure is there to support it.

🎯 From First Event to Full Program

Most hosts' KC7 journeys follow a natural progression:

First Event → Add More Games → Create Classrooms → Track Progress → Build Community

You don't need to plan this all out now. Many hosts run their first event with no plans to continue, then participants ask "Can we do this again?" and suddenly they're running regular sessions. The tenant grows with you as your needs change.

Month 1: Single Events

Starting Simple

After your first successful event, you might:

• Run the same game for different groups

• Try a different module

• Get comfortable with the platform

• Not think about "tenant management" at all

Example: Run "A Scandal in Valdoria" for three different classes, using the same basic setup each time.

What you're learning: How KC7 events work, what participants respond to, basic platform navigation

Month 3: Multiple Classrooms

Month 6: Full Program
