Multiple Accounts Per User
Table of Contents
DNSimple allows a user to be associated with multiple accounts. If you cannot find a domain you expect to see, it may be in a different account. See I Can’t Find My Domain for troubleshooting steps.
This happens in two cases:
- The user is added as a member to an existing account.
- The user creates another account under their existing user profile.
Managing multiple accounts is a flexible way to access different levels of service and share domain management with other users. For how users, accounts, and members relate, see Users, Accounts, and Members at DNSimple. If you are an agency or freelancer giving each client their own DNSimple account, see Creating Accounts for Clients. If you want to invite another user to manage domains on your account, see Managing Seats and Domain Access Control.
