Each linked account remains a completely separate XenForo user with its own profile, posts, permissions, alerts and identity. The add-on simply creates a trusted relationship between those accounts and provides a secure way to move between them.
New links are not created automatically. A request must be sent to the other account and approved while signed into that target account.
Features
- Secure account linking with approval from the target account
- Quick switching between linked accounts
- Set a primary account within the linked-account group
- Remove other accounts from a linked-account group
- Incoming and outgoing link request management
- Accept, reject and cancel link requests
- Link requests expire after 7 days
- Supports linked-account groups of up to 20 accounts
- Prevents linking to nonexistent users
- Prevents switching to accounts that are not linked
- Usergroup permission for creating and managing linked-account relationships
- Dedicated Linked Accounts page in the user's account area
- Linked Accounts shortcut in the XenForo visitor account menu
- Desktop and mobile friendly interface
- Separate XenForo identity retained for every linked account
Switching accounts changes the active XenForo user, so posts and other actions remain associated with the account currently being used.
The original request came from a roleplaying community looking for a maintained way to manage multiple character and player accounts, but Eggy Linked Accounts has been designed as a general multi-account system and is not limited to roleplaying forums.
It can also be useful for communities where members legitimately operate alternate, staff, test or other separate accounts.
