Connect Site to User

Explanation

This activity is used to connect a user to different sites, and to define a user's default site. Only sites that are attached to the user's company can be selected. This mandatory task is to be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent person.

When handling multi-site ordering, consider using a specific coordinator and order type. This will help keep track of these types of orders separately. Although it is not mandatory, this approach is recommended.
