Add a sub-company
A System admin adds a sub-company with Add company. The new company can use this company's model keys. Apps, accounts and channels stay separate, and a sub-company cannot add companies of its own.
The button is Add company. Falcon calls the new company a sub-company: it is linked to this one, and only one level is allowed.
Who can add one
- Only a System admin of a company that is not itself a sub-company sees Add company. It is in the company switcher and on All companies.
- A person who is not a System admin has no Add company button. A sub-company has none either: a sub-company can't add companies of its own.
- A company can have at most 99 sub-companies.
- You add it while signed in at the parent company itself, not while you are only visiting through another company.
Add company
- Choose Add company in the company switcher, or open All companies and choose Add company. The switcher opens All companies with the same dialog.
- The dialog title is Add company. It says: The new company is yours to run: you become its System admin and can open it from the company switcher. It can use this company's model keys; apps, accounts and channels aren't shared.
- Company name is the name people see. Studio address is lowercase letters, numbers and dashes, and Falcon fills it in from the name until you edit it. Web domain is optional: Leave empty to use this company's domain.
- Choose Add company again. Falcon asks you to confirm it's you before the company is added. Cancel closes the dialog without adding one.
- When it is added, All companies says the name was added. Open it from the list below. Open it with Open, or from the company switcher. You are its first System admin.
What the new company starts with
- It starts like a first company: default departments, default security settings and a System admin role. Its spending policy is the default until a System admin saves limits there.
- It can use this company's model keys for calls. It never sees, replaces or removes those keys. Its own key for a provider is used instead. See Use the parent company's models and Add the sub-company's own key.
- Apps, connected accounts, channels and identities stay with each company. Nothing else is copied across.
- Its usage is billed to this company while the link lasts. See How a sub-company's usage is billed.
