Finding Your Tenant Name

Overview

Every Britive tool needs to know which tenant it’s talking to. Your tenant is the subdomain of your Britive console URL:

https://acme.britive-app.com
        └──┬─┘
        tenant name

If you log in at https://acme.britive-app.com, your tenant name is acme.

Default: use the subdomain only

Unless a specific field says otherwise, use just the subdomain (acme) — not the full URL. The pybritive CLI and Britive SDKs accept the full URL too, but normalize it down to the subdomain internally. Passing the subdomain directly avoids relying on that normalization and matches what most config fields expect.

Context	Value to use	Example
`pybritive configure tenant`	Subdomain only	`acme`
`BRITIVE_TENANT` environment variable	Subdomain only	`export BRITIVE_TENANT=acme`
Terraform `provider "britive"` `tenant` argument	Full URL	`tenant = "https://acme.britive-app.com"`
Bridge `auth.britive.tenant` config	Either — subdomain or full URL	`tenant: "acme"`
Direct REST API calls (`curl`, etc.)	Full URL — required	`https://acme.britive-app.com/api/...`

The REST API row is the one exception: a raw HTTP request needs the actual host, so the full URL is not optional there. Everywhere else, default to the subdomain.
