This is the main user store and it is shared among all the tenants. Please find the more info from [1]. If you want to learn about tenancy in WSO2 products, read [2] Also, admin user of the super tenant(default tenent of WSO2 products), which is defined in [WSO2_Product_Home]/repository/conf/user-mgt.xml will reside in primary userstore. Read more about system administrator user at [3]. >From [1], "This is the main user store that is shared among all the tenants in the system. Only one user store should be configured as the primary user store" Secondary userstores Secondary user stores are helpful when your organization has different sources of users due to departments, company mergers/ acquisitions etc. So if you have different tenants, you mount the secondary user stores for each tenant separately. Find more details from [1]. Following quote is copied from there for your reference. "Any number of secondary user stores can be easily set up for your system and these user stores are specific to the created tenant, and they are not shared among multiple tenants." > What is the exact requirement to have two different types of user stores > as this?
