Yes, this is prime translator headache material :) Maybe add # TRANSLATORS: A tenant is a group of users who share a common access to a software system. # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitenancy And even better if there are some usage hints - is it important that this word or an exact equivalent is used (maybe translator will write the English term in parenthesis then), or can it be replaced by something inexact like 'Security group'.
