Setting TenantId For New Users

While logged in with Tenant2 , try to create a new user, User2.

You will not encounter any errors; however, the newly created user will not appear in the list.

Since the default value for TenantId is set to 1 in the migrations, User2 has a TenantId of 1 and is a member of the Primary Tenant

To ensure that new users have the same TenantId as the currently logged-in user, modify the SetInternalFields method of the UserSaveHandler as shown below:

protected override void SetInternalFields()
{
    base.SetInternalFields();

    if (IsCreate)
    {
        Row.Source = "site";
        Row.IsActive = Row.IsActive ?? 1;
        if (!Permissions.HasPermission(PermissionKeys.Tenants) || Row.TenantId == null)
            Row.TenantId = User.GetTenantId();
    }

    if (IsCreate || !Row.Password.IsEmptyOrNull())
    {
        string salt = null;
        Row.PasswordHash = UserHelper.GenerateHash(password, ref salt);
        Row.PasswordSalt = salt;
    }
}

In this modification, we set the TenantId to match the current user's TenantId, unless the user has tenant administration permissions.

Now, try creating a new user, User2b. This time, the user will appear in the list as expected.
