    Overview of contact relationship

    A contact is a user who serves as an employee of an account. To associate a contact with additional accounts, contact relationships are used. These contact relationships enable a contact with the customer role or customer administrator role to manage the account that you established a contact relationship with. These contacts can view the information and perform actions on behalf of the accounts, such as creating or updating cases from the customer portal.
