The Allow Vendor Update security setting controls whether users can edit an Employer record where the company type is Vendor. This setting supports customers who integrate with accounting systems and use their accounting system as the source of truth for vendor data. Enabling this setting prevents end users from inadvertently causing the vendor record to be out of sync with the accounting system master record.
This setting does NOT control access to the Manage Employers page or the Vendor field. Those settings are set separately.
