ScreenCloud User and Email Management: Ownership Changes and Switching Between Accounts

This article will go through how to change the main owner email address for your ScreenCloud account or switching between many organizations.

Updated yesterday

The People section in ScreenCloud is your central place for managing access to your organization. From here, you can invite users, control what they can do by assigning groups, roles and space access, manage who has Owner or Primary Owner permissions, and configure Single Sign-On (SSO) where available. This guide also explains how to transfer ownership to change the main account email, how to switch between multiple organizations under one login, and what to check if your screens or content appear to be missing after you've logged in.


People

The People section is where you manage all users in your ScreenCloud account. From here, you can invite users, assign them to groups (which control permissions), give access to spaces, manage account owners, and configure Single Sign-On (SSO).

The People section includes three areas: All, Owners, and SSO.

All

This view shows everyone invited to your account, including their groups, roles, ownership status, and space access. Pending invitations are also listed here.

To invite a new user:

  • Click Invite People

  • Enter the email address

  • Select a group (for example, Admin)

  • Click Add, then Send Invite

Once the invitation is accepted, the user can be assigned as an Owner if needed.

Owners

The Owners section is where you manage account ownership. The account creator is automatically set as the owner. Owners have full administrative and billing access across the organization.

If multiple owners exist, one user can be marked as the Primary Owner, who acts as the main contact for billing and account-related communication.

SSO (Single Sign-On)

Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to sign in with one set of credentials across services. ScreenCloud uses secure authentication providers such as Auth0.

Ownership roles can still be assigned or changed normally when SSO is enabled. This tab is not available unless you have set up SSO for your account.

SSO is available on the Pro plan with a minimum of 35 screen licenses or the Enterprise plan. You can find out pricing details here. If you are interested in enabling SSO for your account and team, feel free to contact ScreenCloud Support.

Changing account ownership

Only an existing Owner can add or remove other Owners.

To add a new Owner:

  • Log in to your ScreenCloud account

  • Go to Account Settings

  • Select People, then Owners

  • Invite the new email address to the account

  • Once the invitation is accepted, assign the user as an Owner

To remove an Owner:

  • Remove the user’s Owner role

  • Delete the user from People > All (Optional)

If an Owner is no longer reachable (for example, if their email can no longer be accessed), please contact ScreenCloud Support with:

  • The owner email to remove

  • The new owner email (This should already be invited)

  • A recent invoice number to the account

Support can then assist with transferring ownership after verifying the details.

Setting or changing the primary owner

The Primary Owner is the main point of contact for billing and account-related communication. This setting only appears if an account has more than one owner.

To set or change the Primary Owner:

  • Log in to your ScreenCloud account

  • Go to Account Settings

  • Select People, then Owners

  • Find the user or invite them and wait for them to accept their email invitation

  • Use the three-dot menu next to the user and select Set as Primary Owner

You must be an existing Owner to perform this action.

Managing and switching between multiple organizations

A single email address can be used to access multiple ScreenCloud organizations with different permission levels.

To join another organization:

  • Your email must be invited using Invite People

  • When accepting the invite, select Already have an account

  • Log in with your existing credentials

If this option isn’t used, you may see an “Email address already exists” error.

After accepting, you can switch organizations using the Switch Organization button, found when clicking your user profile.

The checkmark shows the active organization. Select one of the listed organizations immediately access it.

Why are my screens and content missing?

If your account appears empty, it’s usually due to one of the following:

Switched Organizations

You may be viewing the wrong organization.

  • Click your username and select Switch Organization

  • Select your original organization

Logged into the wrong account

You may have used a different email or created a new trial account.

  • Confirm the correct email

  • Log out and back in using the original account email

  • Contact Support to remove the duplicate trial account

These two scenarios account for most cases. If you still can’t locate your original organization, contact ScreenCloud Support for help.
