One of the major complication I see in the API is that users can be
associated with multiple tenants.

 

What is the benefit of this? What functionality would be lost if a human
user merely had to use a different account with each tenant?

 

There are numerous issues with multi-tenant users. For example, if a user is
associated with multiple tenants, who resets the user's password?
