What is a Property Data Administrator and why is that important?
The Property Data Administrator is the person who owns the account where the property was initially entered. This can be anyone within or outside of your company.
The Property Data Administrator is important because they have full access to the account and full sharing rights. That means they ultimately control all the data & who has access to the data.
