Hi,
accounts are structured in a tree, where every branch inherites the
limits from its parent. The leafs of such a branch then would be users.
You can then change the limit of a branch account without having to edit
every of your 300 user accounts.
A user may then also be connected to several branches, this is the point
where the tree analogy fails to apply.
Regards,
Uwe
