# Manage Users - Schema Access

A Signify database can be shared among any number of companies in the same group. Each company will function as a separate entity but managers and administrators can switch between the companies (called schemas in the system) to access the employees from the respective companies.

Specific rights must be given to a user before he/she will be able to switch between the companies/schemas in the database. Assigning schema rights is done in the **Role Assignment** section discussed earlier.
