2194460 - Business User is Getting Created for Every New Internal Employee

You created/hired an internal employee in your system and observed that a business user was automatically created for it. Your expectation is that a user is only created when explicitly required, not by default.

For internal employees, a business user is always created by default. These users don't count for the license fee calculation as they are not automatically valid — they only count if the validity is adopted, business roles get assigned, etc.

For external employees such as service agents and partner contacts, the user creation only happens on request.

This is the standard system behavior.
