User accounts linking enables consolidating multiple user accounts under one with an email-based authentication. Linked accounts are available as profiles you can switch between without having to re-login.
Note: Before you proceed with linking accounts, you must enable email-based authentication. For details, see Enable Email-based Authentication.
Important: Currently, accounts linking is enabled for Metal accounts and links only one user name-based account.
To link an account:
-
Log in to any Equinix portal using a user name that hasn't been migrated to email-based authentication.
-
Provide an email address that you use for email-based authentication.
-
Enter your password and click Continue.
-
Click Proceed to confirm linking the user name to the existing account associated with the given email address.
-
Click Continue to Portal to navigate to the portal.
Switch Between User Profiles
To switch between user profiles:
-
Log in to any Equinix portal.
-
From the user menu in the top-right corner, select your user profile.
-
Click the profile you want to switch to.
