How to create a subsidiary
1
.
Introduction
You can allow a user or customer to create their own projects without allowing the user or customer to make changes to yours. For this you use a subsidiary.
The terms Company and Subsidiary that are used in the context of the Calculus portal, indicate user accounts and the way in which they can communicate with each other. They do not refer to companies and subsidiaries as used in the corporate sense.
A subsidiary functions as a corporation itself but is subject to the rights of the parent company.
Users of the main company may, depending on their rights, make changes to the subsidiary and its associated projects. Reversely, someone who has rights at the subsidiary cannot make changes at the main company.
As a result the main company's projects are secured.
