Hello @markp! I hope you are doing well.
Unfortunately, a user in each tenant would be required in these scenarios, which would be used to query the data in each tenant. There was a similar request I made on our Ideas section, which would allow administration from the master tenant. However, there are ISO restrictions, noted in the thread, that prevents this possibility.
There are some options on the provisioning front. You could create the clouds in your primary tenant and share them, either publicly or privately, to your tenants. If the cloud is in your primary tenant, you could provision to the cloud and then assign the instance to the tenant afterwards (you assign the VM and can move the associated instance). That said, once the instance is assigned to the sub tenant, it will not be visible or configurable in the primary tenant, only the VM can be seen in the cloud view to be able to reassign if needed. You could pull costing from the primary tenant though, specifying specific tenants for example, such as in the “Cloud Cost” report. As well, there is an “Instance Inventory Summary” report, which can give you details on your instances in tenants as well.
I’d read more here on assigning clouds and resources, if it seems a fit:

Hope that helps!
