Add users to multiple accounts
Optimizely lets users log in to multiple accounts. Here is when this feature comes in handy:
- You are an agency or consultant who manages multiple Optimizely customers, and you want to be a collaborator on your clients' accounts
- You are an Optimizely Scale customer with a centralized testing team that manages multiple accounts in your organization
To be added to multiple accounts, ask the Administrator or Project Owner of the account (depending on the permission level you need) to invite you. Let us walk through how an administrator can add another collaborator with the step-by-step instructions:
-
In the project to which you want to add a collaborator, navigate to Settings > Collaborators.
-
Click New Collaborator.
-
Add the email address and select the collaborator role.
-
Click Invite.
Switch between multiple accounts
With multiple accounts, you can toggle between your primary account and any other account to which you have been added.
Change account names
Account administrators can change the account name.
-
Navigate to Account Settings > Plan.
-
Click Edit.
-
Enter the desired account name in the Account Name field.
-
Click Save.
After the account administrator changes the account name, the new name will appear in the user's account options.
Access Optimizely support with multiple accounts
When working with multiple accounts, it is important to note that they might have different levels of support. Access to different levels of support may vary depending on your Optimizely plan type.
To contact support, access the Optimizely Help Center by selecting the "?" from the top right-hand side of the application. If you do not see Create a Ticket or View Tickets under Contact our support team, it could be because you are logged into an account that does not include support options. To resolve this:
-
Click Log Out next to your profile picture in the bottom left corner.
-
Navigate back to the Optimizely Application and log in with the desired account.
-
Return to the Optimizely Help Center and select Create a Ticket.
This will sign you in based on your last-accessed Optimizely account and show you the support options for that account.
