Entitlement Country

A user's entitlements are determined by their Organizational affiliation and country. When a user profile is created, users are assigned two types of Country

• Profile Country
  • Where the user physically resides
• Entitlement Country
  • Which country's entitlements a user may access

A user's profile country is selected at the time of registration. Their entitlement country is automatically assigned based on the rules defined in the Entitlement Country section of Entitlement Management by an Administrator or Co-Administrator. The entitlement country is only set according to these rules at the time the IMS user registers. If settings are changed on this page, existing users' entitlement country will not be changed.

In this example, the account has Entitlements from Brazil, United Kingdom, India, and the United States.

When a new IMS user registers, her entitlement country will be set in the following order

1. If a new IMS user registers whose profile country is in one of the countries with entitlements, her entitlement country will be set to the profile country
   
   1. Lucy's profile country is United Kingdom, her entitlement country is United Kingdom
2. If a new IMS user registers whose profile country is on the Exceptions list, her entitlement country will automatically be set to the entitlement country specified in the list
   1. Sally's profile country is Chile, her entitlement country is Brazil
3. If a new IMS user registers whose profile country is not one of the countries with entitlements and is not explicitly named in the Exceptions list, her entitlement country will be set to United States
   1. Jane's profile country is Estonia, her entitlement country is United States
