Overview of Territory Account Assignment
Territory-based assignment is the default approach used to give sales people and their managers access to account, contacts and households.
Account assignment is based on the matching of sales account attributes with sales territory dimensions. For example, you can add an account owner to the account-territory matching to enable the assignment of a territory based on the account owner.
By default accounts are assigned automatically when the account is created or updated. Alternatively, sales people with access to the account team can run assignment for a specific account. Additionally, account assignment can run in bulk on a scheduled basis. You can also add an account owner to the account territory mapping that enables the application to assign a territory based on the account owner's territory. For example, if the account owner is mapped to the territory owner, then when you create an account, you're made the account owner
