What happens when a user is associated with multiple OUs but one becomes inactive?

When a user is associated with multiple Organizational Units (OUs) in Cornerstone OnDemand, the system maintains the user's connection to the inactive OU until an alternative OU is selected. This means that an inactive OU doesn't automatically affect the user's current associations with other active OUs. The user retains their association to the inactive OU, which could be relevant if the OU were to become active again or if the user needs to switch to a new active OU.

This functionality allows for flexibility in managing user roles and associations within the platform without immediately disrupting the user's access or settings linked to the inactive OU. It holds practical significance in scenarios where changes in organizational structure or responsibilities happen gradually, enabling a smoother transition for users.
