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. 

1. In the project to which you want to add a collaborator, go to Settings > Collaborators.
2. Click New Collaborator.
3. Add the email address and select the collaborator role.
4. Click Invite.

   

Switch among multiple accounts

With multiple accounts, you can switch among your primary account and any other account to which you were added.

Change account names

Account administrators can change the account name.

1. Go to Account Settings > Plan.
2. Click Edit.
3. Enter the desired account name in the Account Name field.

   

4. Click Save.

After the account administrator changes the account name, the new name will appear in the user's account options.

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. Go 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 signs you in based on your last-accessed Optimizely Experimentation account and show you the support options for that account. See File online tickets for support.
