Tenant isolation and manager assignment

When tenant isolation is enabled, you can configure the Tenant user manager role so that users with this role can create job assignments and assign managers within their own tenant.

By default, the Tenant user manager role may not include all of the capabilities needed for this task. You can update the role’s permissions to include the required capabilities, ensuring that manager assignment works as expected while tenant isolation remains enabled.
