Companies / Teams / Disciplines / Roles

It might be easier and make it more readable to be able to add multiple Teams in a same company. The company would be defined by a logo and a name, and the team by a function. This could also be combined with another request, to have one person fill multiple functions ("Add one user to several Teams"). And finally, as an added bonus, it could save a little bit of time if the email domain would be prefilled for a same company.
UPDATE JULY 2023:
Now we have Teams (user groups) and Roles (right groups).
I still believe the assignment in Docs/Scope is about the project role (you may call it discipline) and you usually have user groups or even individual that will have multiple of theses disciplines.
I see two ways to solve this:
- assign multiple disciplines to a user group (or even to a user if you want to be more precise)
- be able to assign a user to multiple user groups, as suggested here:

The distinction of company vs role/function allows optimal use of the scope import. We might have different responsibilities in our scope for HVAC, plumbing, electricity or infrastructure and superstructure that are often times assigned to the same company (usually through multiple contracts).
So the easiest is to have a separate responsibility per each discipline/function and to assign multiple responsibilities to the same company.

Other possible improvements:
- adding non-user contacts or inactive users
- adding individual roles
In the end, each person would be part of one company and have one or multiple roles. Currently, teams are mostly defined by discipline (sometimes a role, sometimes a company).
Although it is nice that the rights management is simple for usage in the Scope.
