We have modernized the business units<\/a> security concepts in Dataverse. Business units\u2019 data access can now support matrix data access structure . The matrix structure is typical for sales organizations where a regional sales manager can access data in multiple regions, or retail organizations where a store clerk works at multiple stores.<\/p>\n

Users are no longer restricted to accessing\/managing data in their own business unit. They can now access and own records across business units. Security roles from different business units can be assigned to the users regardless of the business unit the users belong to. This feature enables the Owning Business Unit<\/a>\u00a0column of the record so that it can be set\/updated by the users. The Owning Business Unit column determines the business unit that owns the record.<\/p>\n
