Use the External Operator Permissions settings page to give permissions to an operator who has permissions in another organization.

When an operator is assigned the Accountability Officer role from a suborganization within an enterprise or super enterprise organization, they are automatically subscribed to that suborganization. This ensures that the Accountability Officer can be targeted in accountability events and can respond on behalf of others. The Organization Subscriptions section displays information about the organization subscription.
