Use case 1
Consider a Managed Services Partner (MSP) that supports many client companies. In this scenario, the MSP might have an attribute named Client with values that list all of its client company names. The MSP does not want this list to be publicly available to all of its clients. In this case, the MSP can choose one of the following options:
Uncheck the Allow Inheritance box so that sub-domains cannot see the attribute in the Inventory or in a report scope.
Override the values in each of the client domains so that they cannot see the root domain's values. An administrator at the parent domain or the client domain can override the values for the attribute at the client's domain.
