What happens when a user is managed in Salesforce while using the User Sync feature?

When a user is managed in Salesforce while using the User Sync feature, they can only be managed in Salesforce. This means that any updates or management operations related to user profiles, permissions, and other settings must be conducted within Salesforce. The User Sync feature primarily facilitates a one-way synchronization process from Salesforce to the marketing engagement platform, ensuring that any adjustments made to the user's information in Salesforce are reflected in the marketing system.

This structure helps maintain consistency and integrity in user data between the two systems and prevents potential conflicts or discrepancies that might arise if users could be edited in both environments. Consequently, when a user is designated as managed in Salesforce, their management is limited to that platform, fostering a clear and definitive approach to user administration.
