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.
