Understanding a User

In this application, a user refers to an individual account created on the platform, allowing access to various companies and their resources. Here’s a detailed explanation of what it means to be a user:

• Account Creation: A user is registered on the platform with a unique identifier and associated credentials (like a password) to log in.

• Default Company Association: Upon registration, each user is automatically associated with a primary company, which serves as their "home" organization. This company is where they can access basic features and resources.

• Role and Membership: While a user can be a member of one or more companies, their role within each company may vary. Users can hold different roles in different companies, determining their level of access and permissions within each organization.

• Flexibility: Users can receive invitations to join additional companies, becoming members of those organizations as well. This allows for collaboration across different teams or projects while maintaining their primary company association.

• Removal from Companies: If a user is removed from a company, they lose access to that organization and its resources. This action is distinct from the user account itself, which remains active on the platform.

• Reinvitation: A user can be invited back to a company in the future. If this occurs, they will return as a member without specific permissions and will need to be added to relevant groups to regain access.

In summary, a user is an individual with an account on the platform, associated by default with a primary company but capable of joining multiple companies and participating in collaborative efforts across various organizations.
