A newly created user cannot see any content or perform any actions without further configuration[ -> More information](https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/mandatory-base/platform-core/workspace-and-identity/roles/why-are-roles-so-important)

Therefore, assign newly created users to a tenant immediately.
