The "persona" model was made with *our* concept of tenant in mind. So,
a tenant could be either a real person or an organization, depending
on which persona is currently selected on the UI (or which header was
sent via curl). So, you could safely take a persona as the tenant.

If you also use the "Resource" concept in Account's side, you could
also have a way to display resources from a sub-tenant to the parent
(ie: from "Acme Financial" to "Acme, Inc").

I think the inventory needs only to know what's the current tenant,
and leave the permissions part to the accounts API. If there's
something you might need to accomplish a particular task, we could add
this as a feature to the accounts part.
