A method for product composition across tenants in a multi-tenant system, the method comprising:
- storing, by the multi-tenant system executing on a processor, information about products, services, or a combination thereof offered by the tenants of the multi-tenant system in a registry database, the tenants including a first tenant, a second tenant, and a third tenant of the multi-tenant system;
- receiving, by the multi-tenant system from the second tenant of the multi-tenant system, a request to access registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system;
- responsive to the request from the second tenant of the multi-tenant system, determining, by the multi-tenant system based on a rule governing access right of the second tenant of the multi-tenant system, whether the second tenant of the multi-tenant system is allowed to access the registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system;
- responsive to a determination that the second tenant of the multi-tenant system is allowed to access the registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system based on the rule, providing, by the multi-tenant system, the second tenant of the multi-tenant system with access to the registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system such that the second tenant of the multi-tenant system is able to access the registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system and create a product offering using a first product, a first service, or a combination thereof offered by the first tenant according to the registry data of the first tenant of the multi-tenant system;
- receiving, by the multi-tenant system from the second tenant of the multi-tenant system, the product offering;
- registering, by the multi-tenant system, the product offering from the second tenant of the multi-tenant system, the registering including defining criteria for rules that govern access to the product offering;
- and
- presenting, by the multi-tenant system, the product offering from the second tenant of the multi-tenant system in an electronic catalog, the electronic catalog with the product offering accessible to the third tenant of the multi-tenant system in accordance with the rules that govern access to the product offering.
