Why have the same user login for multiple programs?

Many of our clients run related programs using multiple Award Force accounts. Having a single user account allows switching between programs without needing to log in to each account separately, and fewer account logins to keep track of.

Since users can have any combination of roles, this account switching applies to all users, not just program managers. Similarly, as entries can be copied between accounts (e.g. winner of a regional program can be copied over as an entry to a separate national program account), the same entrant user account will be associated with the entries on both accounts.

Having a single account to log into multiple programs will also facilitate some planned features that will benefit you and your users in the future. To learn more, see: User accounts and program connections.
