Recommendations

Many of you come across a scenario when Scratch org Pool is created by Admin user and developer with limited access in devhub may not have access to the scratch orgs in the pool created by the Admin user, which blocks the developers from fetching the scratch orgs in the pool. We have added recommendation in Getting started with ScratchOrg Pooling to handle the issue and enable the developers to fetch scratch orgs from pool.
