[Vtigercrm-developers] [FEATURE REQUEST] Support Multiple Sales Offices

[Jens Hamisch]

Hi,

we'd also have to think of permissions. I'd suggest:

    - Each user is allowed to add/modify/delete entities related to
      the organizations he's related to.
      More detailed settings are done using the roles.
      As default setting only the CEO role should be allowed to
      modify sales offices.
    - The admin user must be allowed to modify all entities, so he
      could implicitely be assigned to all organizations.

Thinking about the term "sales office": Wouldn't it be better to
introduce a more abstract term like "organization unit". This would allow
to handle more than just sales offices (e.g. to assign trouble tickets
to a "customer care center").
