Multiple Company mangement

[Jason-Weber-UC]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Is it possible to have a User be a manager (via permissions?) across multiple companies? Or can a single Company have 'sub-divisions' within it?

---

Actual Behavior

A person can only be a member/manager of one Company

This is something I am also interested in.

Possible solution would be to have users that are not assigned to any company be available to all companies.

My use case: I want IT and facilities to be able to use the same Snipe install. The easiest way to accomplish this is to have IT and Facilities be separate companies and have the appropriate managers assigned to the appropriate "company" and then the end users would be able to have assets from either company assigned to them.

Throwing in a me too here. The new permissions are great except they are still useless for my inventory manager. I have to make him super admin because otherwise he can't see the list of companies in the drop down when making an asset, it says "results could not be loaded". This would be fixed for us if the new "Departments" field was actually available for assets. As is we use Companies for departments because Departments didn't exist until now, but since they still aren't available anywhere but People it's not useful and we can't migrate fields (as I'd like to).

Stalebot is on a rampage! Stop it before it shuts down all the feature requests!

Please re-open this issue.

Has this been addressed?

[rhybvan]

I would also like this feature. I look after 4 companies, I have a colleague who serves 2 of them and needs access to just those two, and then others who are involved with just one. But in future, this will become even more complex and I would like to retain privacy between the companies.

[Sprizzle]

I would also like this. Would be nice for our manufacturing team to have their own inventory without it being confused with the IT department inventory.

[rbuzzell]

I have multiple different departments I'd like to have manage their own inventories. Mine handles IT needs, one handles AV needs, and one handles musical instruments.

All of us service the same user base, all have loanable equipment, and all should be in the same tool.

[DerGemeine]

Would be a nice addition.

[jornim]

Same here. We need a way to limit visibility for users who are part of a company (read: department) to only assets that are also in that company (department), without having to make all our help desk users Super Admins to be able to see those cross-company assets.

[Mckovsky]

Is there any chance for implemeting it? Big please!

[petersanta]

Please reopen this issue, this would be a nice feature! :) This was closed automatically by a bot without implementing the feature.

[namarie23]

+1 to this, would this be doable?? Also have multiple departments that don't need to see each others data but share users.

I don't understand the logic that a user cannot be part of multiple companies, especially when there is only 1 import method via ldap..

Eg. Parent Company A-> Sub Companies B, C, D, E

If a user is employed by a parent company .. they might potentially need access to some but not all sub companies. eg If I wanted a user to be part of the parent company A, and also be part of C and E but no access or visibility or B and D how is this accomplished in snipeit without a lot of headaches ?

[poandlsl]

+1 for this feature. It would be great to have users do LDAP authentication to manage assets in multiple companies. The current workaround is create multiple local accounts per user, which is quite inconvenient and not scalable.

[Robert-Azelis]

Hi, if you would like to manage multi company access from permission groups, yes it is possible. I have unofficial solution, but you implement on your risk :) First of all please make a copy of orginal files: .\snipe-it\config\permissions.php .\snipe-it\app\Models\User.php .\snipe-it\app\Models\Company.php Changes related to version 1.4.x and 1.5.x , not tested on older. then replace by these attached: Multicompany mod.zip

In result you should get option to manage multi company access directly in permision groups, superuser permision is not requaired.

(Speaking as an outside user, not in any capacity on behalf of the project)

@Robert-Azelis Thanks a lot for your contributions! I'll point out that it might be easier for people to review and consume your work if you instead fork snipe-it, commit your changes to a branch (e.g. multi-company-access), and then post the link to your fork/branch here. One of the main reasons is that we can see the exact revision of the code on which your changes are based. If it's really polished, you might submit a pull request for inclusion into the codebase.

[jcookatlas]

Please re-open. This feature is absolutely desired by the community.

[joelbreton]

Please re-open. This would be very useful.

[Robert-Azelis]

Please re-open. This would be very useful.

it's continue under [WIP] Add multicompany access permission #10383

[Zack01235]

Please re-open

[tepajc]

This would be very useful, please re-open.

[BBYStudios]

+1 this would be super helpful for us as well. We would very much like to be able to permission users access to companies(departments) rather than give users super admin access. Which is a security risk.

[thasleemnazeer]

+1 Please add this feature.

[starloopstudios]

Please add this feature.

[starloopstudios]

Bump here, We need it!

[SteeleCQ]

The community really needs this as a new feature for more granular control for assets at locations and assigned to departments without giving everyone super user access. We have staff that may be responsible for managing assets at either:

• Location 1
• Location 1 & 3
• Location 2 & 3 & 5
• All Locations
• Only assets assigned to a department at locations 1 & 2 & 4 & 5
• Only assets assigned to a department at all locations

[michaellenhart]

+1 I realy need this feature. Why can't a member be part of two companies or more, by adding a multiple choice menu where you can select as a Superadmin the companies of the member.

[investlab]

+1 I realy need this feature.

[starloopstudios]

We really need this. We are a big group and all companies are on the snipe-it instance and we have troubles letting some heads of department see things assigned to people.
