How many primary affiliations can a contact have in Salesforce?

In Salesforce, a contact can have up to six primary affiliations. This flexibility allows institutions to manage and keep track of various roles that a single contact may have across different entities, such as schools or programs, while ensuring that their primary affiliations are clearly defined within the system. Each affiliation can reflect the contact's relationship with multiple organizations, enhancing the ability to understand the full context of that relationship in educational environments. As educational institutions often have complex organizational structures where individuals may be associated with various programs, services, or roles, having the capacity for multiple primary affiliations is crucial for comprehensive data management and reporting within Salesforce Education Cloud.
