# How do I search for other existing accounts and administrators my company has?

## Symptom

How do I search for other existing accounts and administrators that my company has?

## Resolution

The **Recommended Accounts** tool allows you to view registered accounts that may match your company profile. To search for existing accounts, sign in to your account and follow the steps below:

1. In the upper-right corner, click **\[user initials\] > Settings > Recommended Accounts**.
2. You may be shown a few account matches. You can also click **Open Advance Search** and enter search details to refine your search.
3. The search results will display the company name, [BNOID](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB1287589), and Country/Region.
4. Click the radio bubble next to the account and click **Link** to view additional details like the admin name and email, *Note: this will not link the accounts immediately, this will just show you the administrator details.*

This page will show you the administrator name and email so that you can confirm is it the correct account. If you would like to link the accounts, you can [link the account as your child](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB0396661).

## See Also

If the listed administrator for an account is no longer with your company, you can request an [account reassignment to change the administrator](https://support.ariba.com/item/view/KB0394475). You will be asked to provide the ANID number, administrator name and email of the account.
