Organization and Sub-Organization Administrator Functions

Managing your organization or sub-organization’s default settings

Organization or sub-organization administration is available for select, trained users to help provide a more focused and customized experience for users associated with those groups. These administrators can manage their organization or sub-organization’s default contact information, user preferences (e.g. default bookmark), Smart Alert, and Asset Protection settings. These settings serve as the default for users associated with that group**.** However, individual users can further customize their individual preferences and settings at any time.

These defaults will be applied to new users as well existing users who reset their preferences.
