Currently users can purchase access (offline via invoice) to specific areas of the site on a company (user group) basis. This is achieved by creating categories in Joomla containing the relevant articles, access to which is controlled by setting up Groups with Access Level to these categories.
My client now wishes to provide the following additional functionality and I need to know which add-ons can provide this as descibed:
1. A member of User Group XYZ Company - Manager can issue invites to their own company employees for them to register. This can be achieved by issuing an email containing a link to the Registration page (possibly containing a hidden field assigning users to a specific user group?) When registered they are automatically assigned to the User Group XYZ Company - User, requiring approval by XYZ Company - Manager
2. When XYZ Company - Manager logs in at the front end he sees the CB Workflows for User Group XYZ Company - User only.
3. Some user companies have multiple worldwide offices. XYZ Company New York - Manager will be able to issue invites to employees of the New York branch which they will be able to approve in Workflows. I presume I can achieve this by setting up a child group in Joomla User Groups.
4. Ideally the invite procedure would be achieved using CB, but the link to the specific registration page could be embedded in an email sent to invitees if necessary.
I anticipate that this will need me to purchase the Professional Level membership, but just wanted to check that this can be achieved before doing so.
I also need to use CB Subs to provide paid access additional User Groups. However, these user groups will not require the above functionality.
Many thanks.

Just to clarify
Item 2: My client wishes their user managers to have front end access to moderate registrations, which is what makes Community Builder Workflows an attractive solution. However, they do not want managers in Company A to see workflow actions for Company B.
Is there possibly another way of achieving this that I may not be aware of - (perhaps using CBSubs)? Alternatively I am not averse to modifying code if this is the only way to achieve this, as this is the dealbreaker for my client.
Item 4: Upon registering users need to be assigned automatically to the user group for their company. Offering a dropdown for company field would allow users to see which of their competitors are using this system, whilst a free text field will return too great a variety of responses. Is there a way around this?
Thanks again.
Simon
