Create an ecosystem
An ecosystem includes a single service provider and its valid participants that issue and verify credentials. Each ecosystem defines:
Participants: Issuers and verifiers that are valid in the ecosystem.
Credentials Types: Credential types that are valid in the ecosystem.
Issuer and Verifier Policies: Define what participants are allowed to issue different types of credentials within the ecosystem.
The first step in creating an Enhanced Ecosystem is to create the overarching ecosystem entity.
Currently each tenant can only create one ecosystem.
