default-company vs users-company

[wopl]

After logging in as a regular user (not the default admin user) with appropriate rights top bar on the very right shows username/mycompanyname. Both are correct.

Selecting "company settings" always shows default company (which for me seems not correct) instead of "mycompanyname".

At present the name on the top right shows the name of the user / name of the company specified by user.customer_id. In company settings page the company is the company the user belongs to.
What is the expected behavior. Should we change the name to name of user / name of the company he belongs to.

@vshete, so the "company settings" does not always show the default company as mentioned by OP?

[vshete]

@nasa42, he is right. There is no way you can change a user's company by editing a user. When you change the company column in users/id/edit as admin you actually change the user.customer_id field of that user.

I know that the UI and schema are all over the place, but I'd like to use the following terminology:

• tenant (for the bulk of installations there will be just one tennant). The tennant name is never visible in the UI, but it is evident from the URL (hostname)
• company (the parent of the person record). There is a special "internal" company number 1, but in the long term we'll get rid of that distinction to a simpler role based access level. We should use the term "company" everywhere rather than customer or client.

what is the difference between "internal company #1" and "tenant"?

We should use the term "company" everywhere rather than customer or client.
fully agree... very confusing for "beginners" and regular users
