Hello,

Can somebody please explain to my the proper way to add users and company's to the system, This might sound like a stupid question but I do not understand it.

The problem is this,

When i try to add either a company or user it asks for information from the other, EX. when adding a company it asks for the company owner in a pull down list, It appears to get this list of users from the users entered into the system.

On the other hand when trying to enter a user into the system, It asks as a mondatory field, What company the user belongs to. But since each of these has to be entered before the other. It appears to put me into a loop on which one to add first.

Please explain to me what I am missing here, It would be muchly appreciated here.

Thanx

Others will undoubtedly have ways that they achieve this, but personally I login as the default standard admin login, create the company that "owns" the dotProject installation, create a standard Project Manager login and give that login Administration rights and then, logged in as that Project Manager, create the necessary company and users associated with those companies from there.

If I need a company that is owned by a user that has not yet generated I own the company until such time as the user's are generated and given roles, then I change the ownership of the company as required.

That is also the explanation given here:

But there is no indication what a: "standard Project Manager login" is.
