Hi, what's the best practice to make user accounts that can have child users? Ex. A user registers to a services management app. And he can create accounts for his other employees. Employees can login to a services management app and can manage services created by parent user. What's the best practice to handle that kind of functionality?
I would probably create two entities here. Something like a Company and a User. So a user can invite other users, but a user is always connected to the same "Company". So when you login you always see the same data, since everything is connected to that company.
You then create different roles for what a user can do. This role can also be based on who created the company or whatever.
If you need more help let me know ;)
