One of the benefits of Syft Analytics is that a user can have access to multiple entities across numerous organizations. To ensure the integrity of your user experience, we have functionality to lock the user’s organization, preventing your account being moved to another organization. If you are added as a guest user, you can access multiple organizations without belonging to the organization you’ve been added to as a guest. Being invited as a member forces you to choose which organization you are primarily associated with.
Navigating to “Lock user organization”
You can easily navigate to “Lock user organization” by clicking on your profile settings in the top right corner, then clicking on “Preferences” and ultimately navigating to “Lock user organization”.
What does “Lock user organization” do?
“Lock user organization” is a security preference that prevents your account being moved to another organization. By toggling on “Lock user organization” you ensure that accepting invitations to other organizations will not move your user profile from your prior organization to the new organization.
If “Lock user organization” is toggled off and you accept an invitation to join another organization, your user profile will be moved to that new organization, and you will lose access to your previous organization. Upon logging into your Syft Analytics account, you will see the new organization, and not the one you were previously part of.
When should “Lock user organization” be toggled on?
It is advised that “Lock user organization” should always be toggled on, unless you want to be added to a new organization and removed from your old organization.
How can I be added to multiple Syft Analytics organizations?
You have a few options here:
Get invited as a guest user to an organization that is not your own. You can add users by navigating to your profile settings in the top right corner, then clicking on “Users” and then on “Invite users”. Select the role and entities you want them to be part of, and click on “Invite”. For more information on the different roles and permissions, have a look at this article, or visit this one for more information on guest roles.
You can start an additional organization with an alias email to your own user email, for example, using myemail+neworg@company.com instead of myemail@company.com.
