Users and organizations

Users and organizations are created in different areas in the lookup tables and shards.

Users are treated as master data and reside in the Master shard. When you create users and organizations, corresponding records are created in a Metadata PLT_COLONY_MAP lookup table. When a user logs in, if the login API does not have an enterprise to which that user belongs, the PLT_COLONY_MAP lookup table determines which colony the user belongs to.
