AccountManager Branch
AccountManager can support a Branch security configuration. Branch security is useful when you need to group a set of accounts into a physical or virtual grouping. Branches can be used to limit access to a set of accounts that belong to a Branch. The Branch Manager(s) can see all the accounts in a Branch and the Branch Members can be assigned to accounts in the Branch.
Branches are assigned to secure accounts as open accounts are visible to everyone in a branch and to the entire company. Open accounts can be restricted to a particular branch. This is useful if you have a Principal in only one branch. To restrict an open account to a branch check off the “restrict access” check box and choose the branch it should be restricted.
