I see in the Firebase console only shows MAU at the project level with various filters. I didn't see a filter per tenant.

When I enable multi-tenancy in Firebase Auth/Identity Platform, is there a way to find out the MAU count per tenant?

I notice the Identity Platform charges per MAU, it would be nice to know the breakdown in terms of tenants.

A related question is could we get these stats programmatically or a report generated monthly for MAU filtered by tenant(or if necessary, per app)?

Hello Tommy,

Thank you for your question. You want to know specifically if by enabling multi-tenancy in Firebase Auth/Identity Platform, can you know the MAU count per tenant.

You’ve asked two more questions building on the first:

(*1) I notice the Identity Platform charges per MAU, it would be nice to know the breakdown in terms of tenants.

And

(*2) A related question is could we get these stats programmatically or a report generated monthly for MAU filtered by tenant(or if necessary, per app)?

I did a quick search and found that you posted this same question in Stackoverflow here[1].

The question was answered with detail.

Firebase Analytics data is not linked to Firebase Authentication in any way. If you're seeing MAU in Analytics, it is not measuring Firebase Auth users. It is measuring its own sense of "user", based on the tokens it uses independently from Firebase Auth.

If you want per-tenant stats, you should add tenant information as user properties in custom events, export Analytics data to BigQuery, then gain insights from your data using BigQuery queries. The console won't be of help when working with user properties like this.

Since Firebase Analytics is not connected to Firebase Authentication, because of the way the components were designed, a monthly report for MAU filtered by the tenant or a statistics report cannot be generated programmatically but I think a feature request would be the way to go. To add value to this request, how would your report work both from the console and programmatically?
