When adding a User to a child organization, it automatically assigns them to the parent organization

Issue

• I've observed a difference in behavior when assigning a User to a child organization.
  • DXP 7.2: the user would only be assigned to the child organization and not the parent organization.
  • Quarterly Release: the user would be assigned to the child organization and automatically be assigned to the parent organization.
• I would like to assign a user to a child organization and not have them automatically be assigned to a parent organization.

Environment

• Quarterly Release

Resolution

• This behavior can be configured so that a user will not be automatically assigned to a parent organization. Setting this property 

  organizations.membership.strict=true

  to true in your portal-ext.properties file will ensure that users will only be assigned to a child              organization.

• If you set this property to false, the users assigned to a child organization will automatically be assigned to both child and parent organization.
