# How can suppliers use their existing account to access my event?

## Resolution

**Question**

How can suppliers use their existing account to access my event?

**Answer**

Sometimes a supplier may have a duplicate user in the **Organization Profile.** They may be connected to another user in the same **Organization Profile.** In this case you should only **AOD Unlink User**.

However, if the **Organization Profile** has an existing **networkid**, that does not match the supplier's existing ANID, then, they must create a unique username. For assistance, please refer to [Error: "Your company has already connected with this buyer company using a different account and Ariba Network ID (ANID)"](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/139440).

To check the if the **Organization Profile** has an existing **networkid**, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the **Suppliers** tab of the event
2. Click the **Organization Profile** of the supplier
3. Click **Actions** > **Organization IDs**

**Additional Information**

If the **Organization IDs** does not have a **networkid** or **sourcingnetworkid** then a supplier can log in through an invitation link and use their existing account. If the supplier does not have an existing account and chooses to register then Ariba will create a **networkid** specific to that supplier organization.
