# tenants (restricted)

### Overview

The `tenants` RPC method displays the current list of registered data storage tenants on the Lynx blockchain. This command provides visibility into all user accounts that have permission to store data on the blockchain, helping administrators manage storage access rights within the system.

### Syntax

```
tenants
```

### Description

When you invoke the `tenants` method, the Lynx daemon retrieves and displays the complete list of registered storage tenants from the authentication system. Each tenant is represented by their unique public key hash in hexadecimal format. This command is particularly useful for administrators who need to verify which accounts have storage privileges or audit the current tenant roster before making changes.

### Parameters

This method does not accept any parameters.

### Returns

The method returns an array of hexadecimal strings, where each string represents a tenant's public key hash:

```
[
  "1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p7q8r9s0t",
  "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0",
  ...
]
```

Each element in the array is a 40-character hexadecimal string representing the public key hash (RIPEMD-160) of a registered tenant. These identifiers correspond to the `tenant` field returned by other commands such as `store` and `fetch`.

### Access Control

{% hint style="danger" %}
The `tenants` command is restricted to administrative use only.
{% endhint %}

### Examples

#### List all registered tenants

For a blockchain manager:

```
lynx-cli tenants
```

Output:

```
[
  "1a2b3c4d5e6f7g8h9i0j1k2l3m4n5o6p7q8r9s0t",
  "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2m3n4o5p6q7r8s9t0"
]
```

For a non-manager user:

```
Role-based restriction: Current role cannot perform this action
```

Using JSON-RPC:

```
curl --user manager:password --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "tenants", "params": []}' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:9332/
```

### Implementation Notes

* No additional metadata about tenants is provided beyond their public key hashes
* This command does not modify the tenant list; it only displays the current state
