User Access Settings

Overview

Which organization and / or business unit a user has access to?

User’s access settings is one of the most important points in determining which data the user will be able to access. The organizations you are selecting in this section are organizations a user can log into. Both organizations and business units selected are records which data owned by a user will belong to.

Caution

Pay attention that if a user looses access to certain organization, the data the user owns that was created for this organization, stays in organization. If a user looses access to a business unit, the data the user owns becomes unavailable in this business unit. For details, see the Examples section.
