      If an employee User Account was created in Barracuda Cloud Control prior to creating/synchronizing the account in ECHOplatform, after the account is synchronized, the user can access all Barracuda MSP customer accounts in Barracuda Cloud Control.

      This happens irrelevant of whether they had access to all the accounts prior to the account being synchronized.
