SHARED ACCESS: GRANT PRIVILEGES FOR OTHER USERS TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT

You may grant limited access to your account for other Magento Account holders. In particular, using the shared access functionality, you may provide privileges for trusted employees and service providers to use your Help Center account so that they could work with your support tickets.

You can provide and manage shared access using your Magento Account page at https://account.magento.com.

Who can provide shared access

Only the Account Owner (Primary Account Holder) with the according privileges can provide shared access for other users.

Managing users and their access is the customer’s responsibility, especially in the shared access perspective. Thus, the Adobe Commerce support team cannot provide shared access to a Magento Account on behalf of a Customer. Customers are encouraged to add users with shared access themselves, using the Magento Account page.

Users who have been provided with shared access cannot transfer or grant such access to other users.

Provide shared access

See the Sharing Your Account section of Adobe Commerce User Guide for detailed steps on setting up a shared account.

After providing shared access for a new user, the related information is available in Shared Access > Manage Permissions of your Magento Account page.

Revoke (delete) shared access

1. Log in to your Magento Account at https://account.magento.com.

2. In the panel on the left, under Shared Access, choose Manage Permissions.

3. Find the user to revoke shared access from and click in the user’s row (Actions column).

4. Click Delete User to revoke access or X in the top corner to cancel revoking.

   

   You may also revoke shared access using the Edit menu:

5. Log in to your Magento account at https://account.magento.com.

6. In the panel on the left, under Shared Access, choose Manage Permissions.

7. Find the user to revoke shared access from and click Edit in the user’s row (Actions column).

8. Click Delete This User at the bottom of the page.

9. In the confirmation popup, click Delete User to revoke access or X in the top corner to cancel revoking.

How to delete users who were granted shared access via a Cloud project?

Affected products and versions

• Adobe Commerce Cloud (all versions)

Cause

If you have/had an Adobe Commerce Cloud project and had added a user to the project, they would have been automatically granted Shared Access on the Project Owner’s MAGE ID. This would normally be indicated in the Share Name column, showing Cloud Shared Access from MAG[XYZ].

If the DELETE link is missing, that means that Shared Access was automatically granted through Commerce Cloud.

Solution

It’s not possible to delete the list of Shared Access users with the Share Name of Cloud Shared Access from MAG[XYZ] if the Shared Access wasn’t added/given on this page. These are retained for informational/audit purposes.

However, once you have revoked the permissions on those Shared Access users, they will no longer have that access.

For more information, please refer to the Manage User Access documentation on our Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure Guide.

Access shared account (switch accounts)

To use the shared access provided for you, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Magento Account at https://account.magento.com.

2. Click the Switch Accounts menu and select an account.

   

To know which account you are currently using (your own native account or shared access), see the Switch Accounts menu: it displays the active account.

Shared access troubleshooting

Please refer to the Shared access troubleshooting article in our support knowledge base.
