Add user to a company

Not applicable

How can we add a user to a particular company to create user collaboration/groups? From developer portal I am trying to do that but I couldnt understand the flow.

What is the purpose of grouping users?

Hi @TariqGhalib - The main use case for adding developers to companies is when you're using monetization. Developers inherit the company's tax and billing data. Here's a topic with more info on that.

Outside of monetization, I can imagine using company membership for internal reporting purposes with the management API (such as listing developers in a company). You could also add company metadata separately as a custom attribute on developers if you wanted to perform some company-related logic in a proxy flow.

But aside from monetization and fringe use cases, I don't know of any mainstream use cases for grouping developers in companies. I'll let others weigh in with better ideas.
