In summary: adding to or changing LedgerSMB can be extremely easy

For one of my businesses, I needed to create an application to store some data on the services and products we provide. Basically, there would be one central table with some references to a few other tables, mostly to provide (short) selection lists. Also, there's one bigger complexity, because we wanted to link to our customer data.

The customer data is all stored in LSMB, so, developing this database inside LSMB's database seemed like a logical choice.

How can I login to several companies with one user?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

I manage several companies on LedgerSMB, can I login to any of these companies with one user?
Applies to LedgerSMB 1.3.x -->
V. 0.1 - 22. Nov 2011

I have 100 companies though on my system and decide to change my password, wouldn't I have to change it a 100 times (one for each company)? What would be the best approach to setting up a user that could be used on several companies (databases)?
