Portfolio Data Center provides a feature wherein users belonging to specific business groups only can access the entities. The purpose is to restrict the access to an entity within other areas of the product suite. This is an optional workflow feature that clients can use to tighten entity level security, if needed. In standard entity creation workflow, access to new entities are available to all business groups, not just the business group of the user who created it.
