Overview of the Tenants page in Microsoft 365 Lighthouse
Microsoft 365 Lighthouse lets you manage tenant accounts by selecting Tenants in the left navigation pane to open the Tenants page. The Tenants page contains a list of all your tenants. You can select a tenant to view detailed information including contact details and deployment status.
The Tenants page also includes the following options:

Tenant list
The tenant list provides insights into the different tenants you have a contract with, including their tenant Lighthouse onboarding status. The tenant list also lets you tag tenants to provide different filters throughout Lighthouse, and drill down to learn more about a given tenant and the status of its deployment plan.
After your tenants meet the Lighthouse onboarding requirements, its status will show as Active in the tenant list.
The tenant list lets you:
- Automatically sort tenants by active, inactive, and ineligible.
- Export the tenant list.
- Assign and manage tags.
- Search for tenants by name.
- Filter tenants by status, delegated admin privilege (DAP), and tags.
To inactivate the tenant or view and manage tags, select the three dots (more actions) next to the tenant name. You can view individual tenants by either selecting the tenant name or by selecting one of the tags assigned to the tenant.
For information on how to add tenants, see Add and manage multiple tenants in your Partner Center account.
