Network to network interface

[TiberiusB]

Description of the problem: SENSORICA is collaborating with another network, 99%media on a funding initiative. 99%media take a risk with us and will be rewarded a % from the funding. Also, they want to test the NRP-VAS. We want to log their contributions as a network organization, one affiliate, of SENSORICA. If we call 99%media a network in the system, we can't make them a user account. Bob found a work around for now, is to make them an individual, make a user account, and flip back to a network, so 99%media can be a network and also have a user account. The problem is that if we do that, their name doesn't appear in the list of agents for process logging. I changed the agent type of 99%media to Individual, in order to be able to log their contributions. But this doesn't reflect the reality, and it makes the whole thing less intuitive. In reality they are a network. We need to log their contributions as if they are a single entity. But that doesn't work no in the system.

Perhaps I don't understand how the network-to-network interface works... Perhaps we need to implement this in a different way...

Here's their account http://nrp.sensorica.co/accounting/agent/319/

That was a temporary workaround. Now we need to figure out the whole relationship. I'm marking this priority and next.

Suggestion for a hack for now: make the selection list for agents who can log work to be agents that have users.

Good idea, will do.
