Our Vice President has taken over as Primary Principal. We have recently been informed by some key employees that their authorized user permissions had been changed/restricted. Has anyone had the experience of authorized user permissions defaulting back to factory standard simply as a result of switching to a new Primary Principal? It seems odd that not all users were affected but technology can be a fickle foe on occasion. Since our President's permissions are have also been discovered as restricted, I am tasked with determining if the cause is an accidental software glitch or an intentional change.
I appreciate any help or knowledge anyone can provide!
