Modify Tenant

An existing tenant can be modified via the following REST command:

PUT /_tenants/{tenant}

Where {tenant} is the tenant name. All changes are allowed including adding, modifying, and deleting properties, options, and users. (However, the value of the _CreatedOn property cannot be changed.) The command must include an XML or JSON document with the same format used to create a tenant. The tenant document is interpreted as follows:

•	Any options, properties, or users not in the current tenant definition are added.

•	Any options, properties, or users in the current tenant definition but not repeated in the modified tenant definition are deleted. However:

•	The _CreatedOn property cannot be deleted.

•	If the ReplicationFactor option is deleted, the keyspace’s replication factor is not modified.

•	Existing options, properties, and users can be modified by specifying a new option value, property value, user password, etc.

•	If the ReplicationFactor option is modified, the keyspace’s replication factor modified accordingly. This action should be followed by the administrative command “nodetool repair <keyspace>” to redistribute data according to the keyspace’s new replication factor.

•	An existing user’s permissions can be modified without respecifying the user’s current password. In this case, the password is not changed.

Example:

{"HelloKitty": {

"options": {"ReplicationFactor": "3"},

"properties": {"Owner_Organiztion": "Cats, Inc."},

"users": {

"Asparagus": {"permissions": "APPEND"},

"Skimbleshanks": {"permissions": "READ"},

"Katniss": {"password": "MockingJay", "permissions": "ALL"},

"Rumpleteazer": {"password": "Mongojerrie"}

}

}}

In this example, the password for user Katniss is modified and a new user Rumpleteazer is added.
