Clarify the definition of "Enterprise User"
Why is this change being made?
We strive to come to the state when "Enterprise user" term == user with provisioned_by_group_id
that matches the group's ID. The GitLab implementation reflects this definition.
In gitlab-org&9675 (closed) we want to create the automatic process that will [mark a user as an Enterpriser user == set provisioned_by_group_id
] if they match the following condition:
1. The user's email has a domain that is owned by the company of the paid group, _and_ the user account meets _one of_ the following conditions:
- was created 2021-02-01 or later.
- has a SAML or SCIM identity tied to the organization's group.
- is a member of the organization's group, where the subscription was purchased or renewed 2021-02-01 or later.
This MR is intended to clarify the definition of the "Enterprise User" term: If a user has a provisioned_by_group_id
value that is the same as the organization's group's ID, they are an Enterprise User.
