You do not need to explicitly define this label in your runner manifests (you can if you want though).
+2.

The other default labels relate to the architecture of the runner and so can't be implicitly applied by ARC as ARC doesn't know if the runner is `linux` or `windows`, `x64` or `ARM64` etc. If you wish to use these labels in your workflows and have ARC scale runners accurately you must also add them to your runner manifests.

+### Multitenancy
+
+> This feature requires controller version => [v0.26.0](https://github.com/actions-runner-controller/actions-runner-controller/releases/tag/v0.26.0)
+
+In a large enterprise, there might be many GitHub organizations that requires self-hosted runners. Previously, the only way to provide ARC-managed self-hosted runners in such environment was [Deploying Multiple Controllers](#deploying-multiple-controllers), which incurs overhead due to it requires one ARC installation per GitHub organization.
+
+With multitenancy, you can let ARC manage self-hosted runners across organizations. It's enabled by default and the only thing you need to start using it is to set the `spec.githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name` fields for the following resources:
+
+- `HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler`
+- `RunnerSet`
+
+Or `spec.template.spec.githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name` field for the following resource:
+
+- `RunnerDeployment`
+
+> Although not explained above, `spec.githubAPICredentialsFrom` fields do exist in `Runner` and `RunnerReplicaSet`. A comparable pod annotation exists for the runner pod, too.
+> However, note that `Runner`, `RunnerReplicaSet` and runner pods are implementation details and are managed by `RunnerDeployment` and ARC.
+> Usually you don't need to manually set the fields for those resources.
+
+`githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name` should refer to the name of the Kubernetes secret that contains either PAT or GitHub App credentials that is used for GitHub API calls for the said resource.
+
+Usually, you should have a set of GitHub App credentials per a GitHub organization and you would have a RunnerDeployment and a HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler per an organization runner group. So, you might end up having the following resources for each organization:
+
+- 1 Kuernetes secret that contains GitHub App credentials
+- 1 RunnerDeployment/RunnerSet and 1 HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler per Runner Group
+
+And the RunnerDeployment/RunnerSet and HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler should have the same value for `spec.githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name`, which refers to the name of the Kubernetes secret.
+
+```yaml
+kind: Secret
+data:
+  github_app_id: ...
+  github_app_installation_id: ...
+  github_app_private_key: ...
+---
+kind: RunnerDeployment
+metadata:
+  namespace: org1-runners
+spec:
+  githubAPICredentialsFrom:
+    secretRef:
+      name: org1-github-app
+---
+kind: HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler
+metadata:
+  namespace: org1-runners
+spec:
+  githubAPICredentialsFrom:
+    secretRef:
+      name: org1-github-app
+```
+
+> Do note that, as shown in the above example, you usually set the same secret name to `githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name` fields of both `RunnerDeployment` and `HorizontalRunnerAutoscaler`, so that GitHub API calls for the same set of runners shares the specified credentials, regardless of
+when and which varying ARC component(`horizontalrunnerautoscaler-controller`, `runnerdeployment-controller`, `runnerreplicaset-controller`, `runner-controller` or `runnerpod-controller`) makes specific API calls.
+> Just don't be surprised you have to repeat `githubAPICredentialsFrom.secretRef.name` settings among two resources!
+
+Please refer to [Deploying Using GitHub App Authentication](#deploying-using-github-app-authentication) for how you could create the Kubernetes secret containing GitHub App credentials.
