Hi, I’m relatively new to Docebo and was hoping someone might have dealt with this issue before. Is it possible to be a user (not power user or superadmin) and be able to access 2 different Docebo domains? I thought maybe adding a user to two different branches would solve the issue but it doesn’t look like that is an option anymore. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can you access another domain with the same username?

Thank you for your responses,
Our current work around is to give these employees a power user role where they can impersonate the assigned users and a secondary username/email in Docebo which has access to the external site. So then they can use the ‘login as this user’ feature and then log into the other domain with this secondary username. It’s not ideal and so I was hoping that someone else might have had a similar issue and a different solution!
For the first point, I would be cautious about turning this on as we were told a while back that this would limit access for you admins so not the most desirable feature.
As for your real question...we have a similar situation and what we do is provide access to pages set up for other domains and then you do the same on your catalogues/courses, etc. This gives the use the access to the courses in your other site while keeping them in our domain. If your users are not all in one clean branch for example, you could create a group to manage that and add it the areas you need to give visibility to.

There is a setting that essentially says that you can limit the person to login into the branch/domain they are associated with.

I'm not sure there would be any advantage to users being able to access more than one extended enterprise domain. They would get served the same menu and the same learning content whichever domain they logged-in to. The only potential difference to their experience would be domain-specific custom CSS.
In any case, for anyone joining Docebo within the last couple of years, users cannot be in more than one branch. This effectively limits them to the domain assigned to their branch (plus the root domain). I’m not sure what difference the setting mentioned by

+2Hi
and some employees need to access the customer site to view the different content that is on there
The problem is that, even if they could access both domains, they would still see exactly the same pages and content in both. The domain does not determine what pages the user sees, or what their default starting page is. This is all determined by the menu they get, which in turn is determined by the groups and branches etc.
We have exactly the same scenario and our approach has been similar to how
We also allow users to choose what their default home page is with a user additional field called “Preferred homepage”. It works like this:
Menu 1: Homepage A -- assigned to users with their Preferred Homepage field set to A
Menu 2: Homepage B -- assigned to users with their Preferred Homepage field set to B
You could do something similar to give your internal colleagues a choice of quasi / simulated domains.
Hope this helps!

+2Hi
Thanks! In that case I’ll try to carve out some time to do a guide on this. Might have to be a weekend job!
