# Link accounts

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Windows" %}
The ***Linked account*** feature allows users to associate another account under the same user. This feature is particularly beneficial when a user needs to manage different accounts. For instance, a user may have an account with the email address "<bob@windjammer.co>" and another account with the email address "<_bob@windjammer.co>", which serves as an elevated or privileged account.

The primary purpose of linked accounts is to enhance user convenience and streamline account management.

{% hint style="info" %}
Both users need to be created before linking them together. Only one license is needed for each linked account pair.
{% endhint %}

#### Linking an account

1. Log in to your Team workspace with an administrator account.
2. In the ribbon, go to ***Administration*** – ***Management*** – ***Users***.
3. Select one of the users you want to pair, then click on ***Edit user***.

6. Click ***OK*** to save the changes and close the window, then click ***Close***.

The accounts are now linked. It is possible to check which accounts are linked by going back to the ***User and security management*** window, which is under the ***Users*** button, and scrolling to the ***Linked account*** column.

{% hint style="info" %}
There is no primary or secondary account functionality with this feature; meaning the order in which they are linked does not matter and each can be unlinked to then be linked to a different account without issue.To switch between both linked accounts, it is recommended to have a corresponding workspace using each credential.
{% endhint %}
