Hello Dave,

This is correct. If you tick "Use Global Users" option, you will be able to use Global Users AND regular users (Persons) within the same installation.
What's more, no matter if you use Global Users or not, you must create Person records for everyone.

One installation can have:
1/. Person records for these users that don't switch companies, created in the companies they belong to.
2/. Person records for these users that switch companies - you decide which company they belong to and you create Person records there only.
Or you can decide if one of these companies is a "mother" company, and all the users that switch should have Person records created there always.
3/. On top of that (pt. 2) Global Users for these users that switch companies with the companies assigned on the Global User record.

Persons register is not shared, but Global Users register is shared between the companies.

It is advised that the different users always have different signaures in Persons registers, even if they are not working in the same company.
