Business value
To leverage the full functionalities of the modernized business units feature, we're enabling the default feature settings for production environments that you might have opted in during the preview period. These settings allow users to own records across business units without the need to assign the user with a security role from that business unit.
Feature details
You have production environments where the default modernized business units functionalities weren't enabled. This happened when you opted in to the Modernized Business unit feature during the preview period. This environment setting was optional during preview but since the feature went GA, it's set as default for all new provisioned environments.
We're enabling the RecomputeOwnershipAcrossBusinessUnits environment setting for your production environments that were not set. When this setting is set to true, the system is locked and can take up to five minutes to do the recomputation to enable the capability where users can now own records across business units without the need to have separate security roles assigned from each business unit. This allows an owner of a record to assign their record to someone outside of the record's owning business unit.
