Ok, are you using 1 User Object per Customer (site), and you want to
record the names of the valid employees at each Customer ?

If the case, with 2.0.x I'd suggest using the Watchers table (by defining
another Watcher type), but since thats on the way out, that doesn't solve
your problem.

Otherwise, you probably want to be adding a 'CustomerID' field, and each
(customer) employee is a seperate RT User.
