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.

[Dev] Difference between primary and secondary use stores
Hi devs, I have some confusion on user store types in wso2 products. Please give some assistance. What is the difference between primary and secondary user stores in wso2 products? What is the exact requirement to have two different types of user stores as this? Why isn't it just "user stores" generally? What are the different tasks done by these two categories?
