+
+This module extends the functionality of company management.
+It allows you to bind a technical user on the company in order to use it in
+batch processes.
+
+The technical user must
+- be inactive to avoid login
+- be in the required groups depending of what you need to do
+
+**Table of contents**
+
+.. contents::
+   :local:
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+If you install the module, you will find a tab on the company form allowing
+to define the technical user.
+
+In your code you can use the following helper that will return you
+
+- a self with the user tech if configured
+- or a self with sudo user
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    self_tech = self.sudo_tech()
+
+If you want to raise an error if the tech user in not configured just call it with
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    self_tech = self.sudo_tech(raise_if_missing)

+It allows you to bind a technical user on the company in order to use it in
+batch processes.</p>
+<p>The technical user must
