| Environment | Fintrial MCP and browser, USMF |
| Note | Fintrial opened Vendor groups at menu item VendGroup through page search. Fintrial metadata identifies company-scoped VendorGroups with VendorGroupId and dataAreaId keys; a fresh USMF read succeeded. No row data or configured group was copied. Intermediate menu nodes and effective group behavior remain unverified. |
