Techniques are disclosed for enabling tenant hierarchy information to be migrated directly between different multi-tenant system (e.g., from a shared IDM system to a Nimbula system, or vice versa). A corresponding new tenant is created in a Nimbula system based on a combination of the tenant information and the service information from the shared IDM system. The Nimbula system extracts the tenant name and the service name from a request and asks the shared IDM system to verify that the user actually is a member of the tenant identified by the extracted tenant name. Upon successful authentication of the user, the Nimbula system requests the IDM system for roles that are associated with both the user and the extracted service name. The Nimbula system enable access to the service upon determining whether the requested operation can be performed relative to the specified service based on the roles.
