User child entities

User Child Entities are the special type of entities that can be seen as an extension of the Users entity.

For example, Sellers is a user child entity which contains seller-specific information about the seller. A user can both be seller and customer for a StoreFront. 

Another example is a healthcare application, which can have user child entities, Doctors and Patients. A user can be a doctor as well as a patient. 

Records for user child entities have the same RecordId as the parent user record. The record data for the user child entities is stored in the corresponding record in the Users entity.
