+ As a grantor, you can optionally specify an `ActivationOverrideBehavior` when you activate a grant for a grantee account in your organization.
+ As a grantee, if the grantor creating the distributed grant doesn’t specify an `ActivationOverrideBehavior`, you can optionally specify one when you are activating the grant.
