Abstract: A multi-tenant system sends jobs for execution on a secondary platform such as a cloud based platform. The multi-tenant system sends tenant data for multiple tenants to the secondary platform. The multi-tenant system obtains job-level credentials from the secondary platform, for example, security tokens that provide access to tenant data for a fixed length of time. The multi-tenant system uses the job-level credentials for enforcing tenant level data isolation for jobs executed on the secondary platform. This ensures that the jobs executing on the secondary platform do not access, modify, or delete data of tenants not related to the job.
