Master Account (linking multiple accounts) 
Master Account allows you to link up to five Global ezboard accounts together for easier access and multiple account management. With Master Account you can switch accounts on the fly from the Control Center, or on any community - even during posting. Please be sure to read the Master Account Policies and Regulations before using this feature.
Key Information
- Your Master Account must be an ezSupporter
- All linked accounts will share that account's ezSupporter status, password, email address as well as the expiration date of your ezSupporter account.
- You will only be able to change the password and email address of the Master account – making a change will affect all linked accounts as well.
- Now, more than ever it is important that you do not share your password or account information. Make sure to change your password regularly.

Master Account Policies and Regulations
- The ezboard Master Account feature is designed for use by a single individual. Sharing of the accounts or benefits related to this feature is strictly prohibited. If ezboard determines that an account granted ezSupporter benefits through a Master Account has been used by anyone other than the individual submitting the original payment for ezSupporter status, all linked accounts will be globally banned at ezboard's discretion. In the event that a Master or linked Account is compromised, ezboard will investigate the situation and attempt to restore the Account to its owner. However, ezboard is not responsible for conflicts or damages arising from use or abuse of Master Accounts. ezSupporter payments will not be refunded under any circumstances.
- Master and linked Accounts are subject to the same Terms of Use and rules as any other user account, and users in violation of these terms and rules are subject to the same penalties for violation of ezboard Terms of Use and Rules.
