Ian, This is an very interesting question, and you may have two separate issues: (1) Record Rules: Limit record access to the User's companies (2) ACLs: Set what Users can do on each company
As for (1), Record Rules are assigned to Groups - to every user in the group - not individual Users. That's why it's a bad idea to have fixed ID numbers in rules. You could: * add a link from User to Employee (done here: https://code.launchpad.net/~akretion-team/openobject-addons/trunk-simple-user-to-employee-updated/+merge/114191) * create record rules based on the Employee's Company. Something like: [('company_id','in', [e.company_id.id for e in user.employee_ids])] * for large companies, you could do something similar using Departments instead of Companies. Issue (2) is more difficult. There's no way to have Manager role in a company and Employee role in another. The only "standard" way to do it that I can see is to create a distinct user for each company. If your user works for companies 05 and 24, he would have users jsmith05 and jsmith24. This is far from good, but might be a quick solution. Doing it properly requiers a well thought hack on users\permissions modules.
