What happens if I have access to multiple Red Canary accounts?

User accounts are bound to email addresses, so if your organization has multiple subdomains or accounts with Red Canary, you will have a single user account that is granted roles on all of the subdomains/accounts to which you've been added.

If your user account/email exists in multiple subdomains, you will be permitted access these domains without re-authenticating. In other words, when switching subdomains, you are not required to log in again. Authentication happens once and your credentials are cached when you first log in. If you log-out, the cache will be cleared and you will have to log in again if you want to access the same or a different subdomain.

Note: Logon events are recorded via the audit log of the subdomain into which you authenticate.

The following attributes are associated with your account and are the same across subdomains:

• Your name

• Your phone number

• Your notification preferences about status checks, threats, summaries, etc.

• API tokens

• MFA requirements
