[keycloak-user] Multitenancy for WAR

Sorry, I just noticed that my example was wrong...

here is what I meant:

|- realm
|  |-users
|  |  |-realm-level-user-1
|  |  |-...
|  |-tenants
|  |  |-tenant-1
|  |  |  |-users
|  |  |  |  |-tenant-level-user-1
|  |  |  |  |-...

However, nested realms would be an alternative I guess.

Cheers,
Nils
