[βœ… Solution] Question about user management

Greetings everyone,

A question about user management. I am a member of organization A and have been invited to organization B. When I clicked on the invitation link, I was directed to create a new account in order to join organization B, as shown in the image. I was concerned about proceeding and potentially overriding my existing account. How should I proceed?

Hi @bruno.freitas,

don’t worry, you can continue and your existing account will not be overwritten or merged. You will create a new user that belongs to a new organization.

I understand your concerns because Podio has a user centric approach, so there is one user that can be in many organizations. This makes scalability of resources and control over users very difficult.
In Tape we have chosen the Salesforce approach of having separate organizations where each user belongs to one organization. With the organization switcher, you can get messages from all the organizations in one place and switch quickly, but you retain control over the user accounts and can separate them for better scalability.

We have described this topic in detail here:

Cheers
Leo
