<Note>
**User creation and default tenant behavior**


When creating a new user, the behavior depends on whether an invitation is provided:

- **Without an invitation**:

    - A new tenant is automatically created.
    - The new user is assigned to this tenant.
    - A set of **RBAC admin permissions** is generated and assigned to the user for the newly-created tenant.

- **With an invitation**: The user is added to the specified tenant with the permissions defined in the invitation.

This mechanism ensures that the first user in a newly created tenant has administrative permissions within that tenant.
