Person Account

Account record type that represents an individual consumer by combining account and contact fields.

Definition

Person accounts are used in B2C scenarios. Once enabled they cannot be disabled, and they require at least one account record type and appropriate contact OWD settings. Each person account has an underlying contact record.

Exam tip

Enabling person accounts is irreversible; consider it carefully in B2B/B2C hybrid scenarios.
