How do I use the Link User IDs option?

To optimize navigation between multiple user accounts, you can link your user IDs and switch easily between your accounts, following the steps below:

In the upper-right corner of the application, click [user initials] > Link User IDs.

• If you know the username and password for the account you wish to link:
  
  1. Enter the login information under the No Approval Needed heading.
  2. Click Link Accounts.
• If you do not know the username and password:
  
  1. Enter the username for the user account you wish to link to under the Approval Needed heading.
  2. Click Send link request.
     
     • This will send an email to that user with the option to accept your link request.

In order to switch to the user once it has been linked:

1. In the upper-right corner of the application, click [user initials] > Switch Account.
2. Click the name of the account holder. You must click the [user name] in order to switch to the user that has been linked. If you click anywhere else, it will not switch successfully.

Please take the following into consideration:

Once this process is completed, there is no direct button to undo this action; however, there are alternatives. For more details: How do I Unlink a User ID?

Setting up an account hierarchy is another way to link multiple accounts that offers different functionality than simply linking user IDs.
