How to Work with Business Units

A Business Unit is an organization or organizational subset that is independent with regards to one or more Production organizations. They are flexible structural devices that you can use to segregate data access based on how a business is organized.

Within the service, a Business Unit is defined as an independent group of Services and Users. Each user has its own role within each Business Unit.
