NSX-T Terraform Provider offers support for NSX-T [multi-tenancy feature](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/administration/GUID-52180BC5-A1AB-4BC2-B1CE-666292505317.html).
# NSX Provider for NSX Multi-tenancy

# NSX-T Project Creation and Reference
NSX Terraform Provider offers support for NSX [multi-tenancy feature](https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-NSX/4.1/administration/GUID-52180BC5-A1AB-4BC2-B1CE-666292505317.html).

NSX-T Project objects can be created and referenced with the `nsxt_policy_project` [resource](../r/policy_project.html.markdown) and [data source](../d/policy_project.html.markdown).
## NSX Multi-Tenancy
NSX introduced a new construct called Project in order to offer tenancy by isolating security and networking objects across tenants in a single NSX deployment.

For example, an NSX-T multi-tenancy Project could be created as below:
Project allows multiple users to work on the platform in parallel, isolating configurations and defining scope for security (distributed security configured in a Project only applies to VMs connected to networks from that Project)

NSX also introduced NSX VPCs, offering a second level of tenancy and cloud consumption. Currently the Terraform Provider does not yet support NSX VPCs.

## NSX Project Creation and Reference

NSX Project objects can be created and referenced with the `nsxt_policy_project` [resource](../r/policy_project.html.markdown) and [data source](../d/policy_project.html.markdown).

For example, an NSX multi-tenancy Project could be created as below:

It's not an IP discovery profile. That's a copy-paste error (by myself)
