Background

When a user is created or added to a project Directory, they are assigned to the project and can perform actions based on their permissions.
When a user is added in the project's Directory. They are also added to the company's Directory. If the user already exists in the Company Directory, you can add them to your project's Directory instead.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions
- Users created in the Project level Directory tool are also automatically added to the Company level Directory tool.
- If you do not want to show the 'Is Employee' field when creating a user, you can create or edit the configurable fieldset for the Directory to hide the field. Hiding the field also removes it from the user's detail page.
