Connecting One User Login/Account to Multiple Companies
If a user already has a SocialSchedules account connected to an existing company, they can be invited to connect with another company that is also using SocialSchedules. This lets the user log in to multiple companies using a single account (same mobile number and email address).
This works for all accounts regardless of permission/access level.
The single user account must use the same login credentials (mobile number and email address) across companies.
Connect existing account to second company
As Administrator or Manager send "invite" to user

Instruct user to:
Open the SocialSchedules Mobile App > log in using mobile number and current password
If already Administrator or Manager > More > switch to Personal Profile.

Once connected, user can switch between companies as needed using a single login.
