When you specify user relations, you identify a user's relationship to your organization or company. Users are either internal (employees) or external (vendors or customers). After you specify user relations, a user's information (such as an employee ID) is automatically displayed in fields when that user opens an Enterprise Portal page.    User relations do not enforce security in Enterprise Portal. Enterprise Portal security is enforced through user groups in the application and Microsoft SharePoint Services.
