In Codatum, an account represents a user who can access and use Codatum. The following features are available for accounts:

## Key Features

* Access to multiple workspaces:
  * An account can belong to multiple workspaces
  * For example, it's possible to belong to both a personal workspace and a company workspace
  * Switching between workspaces can be easily done from the workspace selector in the top-left of the UI
* Workspace Roles and Access Control:
  * An account always has one [Workspace Role](https://docs.codatum.com/access-control/access-control-for-workspace) for each workspace it belongs to
  * [Resource Roles](https://docs.codatum.com/access-control/access-control-for-resources) can be assigned directly to an account or through a group
  * [Groups](https://docs.codatum.com/workspace-and-user-management/user-management/group) provide an efficient way to manage multiple Accounts together
