Symptom
This feature will restrict the values returned in all "Worker" type fields in Employee Central Core (not MDF) to filter the returned list of selectable users to only users that are in their Target Population (defined on the Permission Role).
Fields of the type ‘Worker’ (for example, "Supervisor" in Job Information or HR/Matrix Manager in Job Relationship, and so on) can now respect Target Groups defined in Permission Roles. This means that if configured, users can only add managers that are included in the Target Group defined in the Permission Role.
