Sorry, didn''t explain that well; all users have access to all
customers and sites, as they manage the customer contracts.
As there will be several hundred+ customers, I am just looking for a
way to add sites for a customer without having to select the customer
each time, instead by accessing the sites/new form through a customer
record / show page
