user id (UserTenant.userId) is a field stored on each user tenant record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the user tenant record's data. The userId field belongs to the user tenant it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set userId while working with that UserTenant record. Because userId is part of the UserTenant record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the user tenant.
