Cumulocity - where to store the configuration of multi-tenant microservice?

Apparently the best practice for storing microservice config settings is in the tenant options.

But I have a use case where the microservice is multi-tenant and I want a common configuration for all tenants stored in one place.

I got a tip to use the tenant options of the tenant that is the microservice owner (see application owner, https://cumulocity.com/guides/reference/applications/#application). I'm thinking of a solution along these lines - on startup, the microservice looks up the id of its owner tenant and looks for config settings in the tenant options. Is this a viable approach and is it safe to assume that the owner tenant is subscribed to the microservice, so that the service has read privileges?

Technically it is not given that the owner tenant is subscribed to the microservice as well. You will just need to ensure that.

If you want to have a common configuration the owner tenant is the best place.
