The parent resource type in the association.

limit the number of relationships, select the Unlimited check
box.

resource.

Selecting the check box with the same name as the resource
association type allows a reverse resource association to be
created between two resources. For example, the User check box
for the Owners resource association creates an association from
a user (parent) to an asset (child). Unless this box is selected,
associations only be created from a child resource to a parent
resource.
