# Providers

> Understand how Prequel Import handles multi-tenancy with Providers

## Provider associations on Prequel objects

Providers represent unique tenants in your platform. Providers may have one or many Sources, Datasets, Streams, and can map to one or many Destinations.

## Provider-scoped API endpoints

For embedded experiences, Prequel offers SDK and API endpoints that can (or must) be scoped by Provider.
