Account Override
Account override provides the ability to associate a user with a company based on the value in a specific AD field. Normally, a user is associated to the default company specified by the Autotask configuration on the “Connection Settings” subtab. (see https://idsync.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/7012405 )
