Add users to multiple accounts

Optimizely Experimentation 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 Experimentation customers, and you want to be a collaborator on your clients' accounts
  • You are an Optimizely Experimentation 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:

Access Optimizely Experimentation 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 Experimentation plan type.

To contact support, access the Optimizely Experimentation Help Center by selecting the "?" from the top right-hand side of the application. If you do not see Create a Ticket or View Ticket under Contact our support team, it could be because you are logged into an account that does not include support options. To resolve this:

  1. Click Log Out next to your profile picture in the bottom left corner.

  2. Navigate back to the Optimizely Experimentation Application and log in with the desired account.

  3. Return to the Optimizely Experimentation Help Center and select Create a Ticket.

This will sign you in based on your last-accessed Optimizely Experimentation account and show you the support options for that account.
