]po[ Company

The company object type represents client companies and their important attributes.

Companies represent legal units, as oposed to offices that represent physical locations. So every company needs to have at least one "main office", but may have associated several offices.

Companies permissions are managed using membership of the "admin_group" similar to projects.
