I’m working on another “multi-tenant” PHP web application project and I noticed an interesting series of events. It felt like a natural progression and by means of a bit of dangerous induction, I’m posing the hypothesis that this is how things are just bound to happen in such projects.

In the beginning we start out with a framework that has some authentication functionality built-in. We can get the “current user” from the session, or from some other session-based object. We’ll also need the “current company” (or the “current organization”) of which the current user is a member.
