Unlinked accounts

Unlinked Accounts are accounts Secureframe is unable to link to an existing user. They may be missing a first, last name, or email and the platform is unable to confirm if they are Personnel or Service accounts. 

To see your Unlinked Accounts, head to the Personnel page and you will see a banner at the top until all of these accounts are linked. 

How to mark unlinked accounts one by one

  1. Link to Existing - If these accounts are actual users, we recommend reviewing the accounts and linking them to their respective user. Once you link to existing you will have the option to associate this unlinked account to a new employee or new contractor. 
  2. Mark Non-Personnel - If the unlinked account is a service account then we'd recommend marking the account as a Non-Personnel Account.
    • The Non-Personnel Account modal will require a First and Last name along with an email. We suggest entering a fictitious first and last name (see example below) to classify as a Non-Personnel  Account.
    • It will also need an [made up] email address (see example below). After classifying the first Non-Personnel Account, you can link all other service accounts to the existing “user" by searching the fictitious name.  Example:
