We already have the ability to create our own sub users and give them limited/full access to our servers. I request that we be given the ability to grant other linode accounts access to our servers just the same. That way someone who already has a linode account and their own servers does not need two accounts.

I agree. Multiple logins are annoying, and with the possibility of all logins needing IP whitelisting and 2 factor auth is more annoying.

This has been requested many times over the years. If it happens I'd be very pleased, I wouldn't hold your breath though.

Why would you want two completely different Linode accounts to be able to access the same servers? You have no control over those other accounts right? If you do then why do you need more than one in the first place?

I see this as a request to allow one of my logins to access multiple Linode accounts I control. Some of the Linode accounts are client specific, and I need different logins for each. One login would allow me to log in once and work my magic (or wreak my havoc, depending on the day) across all the servers that I have access to.

For the reason the OP stated so we don't need two or more accounts.

I manage several linodes and my clients provide me restricted accounts (so I can see the nodes I manage but not the billing information). I have one account with a separate username and password etc etc for each client it's a pain, it'd be a lot easier if I could log in with my main account and see a list of all nodes I have access to grouped by account owner.
