<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.
