Multi-tenant and multi-organization are very different concepts. OFBiz is designed to be a true enterprise grade system which must include support for multiple internal organizations.
It is NOT designed for multi-tenant operations with strict restrictions on data
viewed, etc.
You could build something like SalesForce.com or NetSuite with OFBiz, but OOTB
it is not meant to be that. If you want protected data for the different
companies/tenants, use different databases behind OFBiz.

Hi David,
I am essentially looking at multi-tenancy. I would like to have a single
instance of ofbiz running and should have a group of organisations using it
on that same instance.
Also, if these organisations are linked as per their roles and relationships
with respect to others(vendor, customer, agent etc.), they should be able to
get to see the authorised information across the organisation boundary.
As I understand, I can do this using party manager. But this application is
fairly complicated and I wanted not to make any mistakes hence am looking at
a step-by-step guide if available.
Thanks & Regards,
Milind

Subject: Re: ofbiz implementation for a multi-organisation scenario
Could you be more specific about what "multiple organizations" means to you?
This is one type of requirement that can vary in surprising ways from one
set of requirements to the next, and from one part of a system to another
even.

Hi,
I would like to get some information on how to use ofbiz for multiple
organisations. I figured out from some documents that it is possible using
parties but could not find any detail level document. Could someone please
let me know where I can find more information?
Thanks in advance,
