Switching Accounts

Accounts in G-EGD determine access to geographic areas and to features and functionality. For example, some accounts have access to imagery over the entire world while others have access only to limited areas.

G-EGD accounts are not individual, but are created for an organization (or sub-organization) to meet the requirements of a specific use case, organizational relationship, or Public Use Memorandum, which dictates conditions like the product formats you and your colleagues can download.

While most users only have access to a single account, some users have access to multiple accounts. If you have access to more than one account, you can switch between them from the G-EGD interface.

1. On the header bar, select your account name. If you have access to multiple accounts, they appear in a menu below your account name.

   	The account name appears to the left of your user name.

   	You can see your accounts in your user profile. See Viewing & Editing Your Profile.
