Create a Company user within an existing Company.

With Independent Company behavior enabled, B2B Edition Company accounts are the source of truth for defining a Company user’s customer group assignment.

On stores without Independent Company behavior, each Company account has a one-to-one relationship with its customer group.

If no default customer group is configured, or the set value of customerGroupId is 0, the B2B Company will not be associated with any customer group. The Company users will have their corresponding customer records assigned to No Group in BigCommerce.
