A method and a system for managing sub-tenants (in a cloud computing environment. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request to access sub-set of data of an asset from the cloud computing system from a sub-tenant device associated with a sub-tenant of a tenant. The sub-tenant is associated with an asset. The request includes a sub-tenant identifier, a tenant identifier, and an asset identifier. The method includes determining whether the sub-tenant is authorized to access the requested sub-set of data of the asset using the sub-tenant identifier, the tenant identifier, and the asset identifier based on at least one role and associated permissions to access the requested sub-set data of the asset. If the sub-tenant is authorized to access the requested sub-set data of the asset, the method includes providing access to the requested sub-set data of the asset to the sub-tenant.

Provided is a method for the assignment of industrial field devices to a user account in a cloud environment, including logging in of a user; scanning of the public identifier; checking, of whether the field device is already linked to a user account; connecting of the field device to the Internet by the user, provided such a connection does not yet exist, in such a way that the cloud environment can be contacted by the field device; triggering a linking of the field device by the user by means of the mobile terminal of the user and the previously scanned public identifier of the field device; authenticating of the field device in the cloud environment by means of the private security key of the field device and assigning of the field device to the public identifier by means of the cloud environment.
