Selected User Permissions – permissions example to illustrate the impact on talent pool functionality and user account transfers.

Talent Pool Feature Access – description of the functionality the user has access to with the corresponding permissions.

User Account Transfer – indicates whether a SmartOrg user account transfer should be initiated between the users. Transfer to means the recipient of the transfer has the required user permissions to access the current user’s features. Transfer from indicates the user will retain, at a minimum, the feature access of the transferring user.
