When users are created, by default they are given the selected business unit as their parent organization. Users, like suborganizations, can inherit properties from parent organizations. Some properties in the user profile are inherited from this parent organization by default if they are not set at the user level or at the suborganization level. Some of these properties include shipping address, billing addresses, credit cards, cost centers, and purchase limits.

When you view a user’s profile or the information of the selected business unit on the Motorprise site, you see the following symbols next to various fields:

This information is specified in your company’s corporate profile.

In this case, the property is not set at the current user or suborganization level; it is being inherited from the parent organization. This is true if the property being displayed does not have any value at the current user or suborganization level.

This information is specific to the current user.

In this case, the property has been set in the current user and is not being inherited from the parent organization. This is true if the property being displayed has a value at the current user or suborganization level. Users can later modify their profiles, thus overriding the properties set at the parent organization level. When they do, the symbol reflects that change.

After these users are created, they each receive an e-mail with their username.
