What a new tenant starts with
After signup, a tenant has a working shell and nothing in it. Knowing the difference between “empty” and “broken” saves a lot of confusion.
What is created
Section titled “What is created”- An admin user — the account you signed up with.
- A tenant schema —
t_<tenant-slug>in the application database. A new tenant’s data never shares rows with another’s. - A subdomain —
<slug>.semantixapp.com, which determines which tenant a request resolves to. - A 14-day trial.
What is not created
Section titled “What is not created”| Missing | Consequence |
|---|---|
| LLM provider | Chat does not work — the most common first blocker |
| Connectors | Nothing to introspect; the Registry is empty |
| Context scopes | Nobody can be granted access, and Home is empty |
| Entities | No tables registered, so no grounding |
| Metrics | No certified numbers; scope boards are empty |
| Trust assignments | Every entity sits at trust 0 |
| Anomaly profiles | Falls back to a built-in default profile |
Two defaults that are on:
- Dashboards — off. The core scope board does not depend on it.
- Anomaly detection — on, using the built-in default profile, so metrics are still checked while you have no profiles of your own.
The first-run prompt is a shortcut, not a checklist
Section titled “The first-run prompt is a shortcut, not a checklist”New admins see a prompt offering to create a scope, import from Power BI, or add an LLM provider.
It does not mention connecting a data source — the step that actually populates the Registry. Follow the quickstart instead, or you will end up with a scope, a provider, and no data.
For non-admins
Section titled “For non-admins”A user with no granted scope sees an empty product and a note to ask an admin. This is correct behaviour, not a failure. Access is granted explicitly under Admin → Users — see context scopes.
Getting to a working state
Section titled “Getting to a working state”The three steps in the quickstart — provider, scope, connector plus introspect — produce a tenant where Chat can answer, the Registry has entities, and someone can be granted access. Everything beyond that is curation, and none of it is required to be useful.
