Namespace and Tenant

We’re overhauling Dgraph’s docs to make them clearer and more approachable. If you notice any issues during this transition or have suggestions, please let us know.

A Dgraph Namespace (or tenant) is a logical separation for data within a Dgraph cluster. A Dgraph cluster can host many Namespaces. Each user must then into their own namespace using namespace-specific own credentials, and sees only their own data. Note that this usually requires an extra or specific login.

There is no mechanism to query in a way that combines data from two namespaces, which simplifies and enforces security in use cases where this is the requirement. An API layer or client would have to pull data from multiple namespaces using different authenticated queries if data needed to be combined.
