This is a backend microservice whose domain is Agent Client Relationships. Relationships are established after a client accepts an invitation.

It is used to manage relationships between agents and clients for the following services:

• HMRC-MTD-IT
• HMRC-MTD-VAT
• HMRC-TERS-ORG / HMRC-TERSNT-ORG (Trusts and estates)
• IR-SA
• HMCE-VATDEC-ORG
• HMRC-CGT-PD
• HMRC-PPT-ORG
• HRMC-CBC-ORG / HMRC-CBC-NONUK-ORG (Country by country, support pending)

The relationships between a client and agent can be checked at agency level (default, if access groups turned off).

If an agency has turned on access groups then the relationship will be checked at the agent user level.

• the client has a relationship with the agency AND the client and the agent user belong to the same access group or the client does not belong to any access group.

Recovery from Failures whilst Creating Relationships.

Note: now includes optional :userId to check the relationship at the user level, rather than agency level.
