# Managing accounts and sessions

View and manage accounts linked to your profile, and any open sessions.

## Before you begin

Administrators can allow their users to sign on using one or more external account profiles, such as Amazon, Facebook, or GitHub. When a user signs on using an external account, the account is listed in their profile, in the **Linked Account** section of the **Accounts & Sessions** tab. Users can view and manage their accounts from this tab.

## About this task

You can view and manage:

* Linked accounts: The first time you sign on using a linked account, such as Facebook or LinkedIn, the account is linked to your profile.

* Sessions: Each time you sign on to your account or app, a new session is created. If you sign on using more than one device, you create multiple active sessions. Active sessions are displayed in the **Accounts & Sessions** tab and show details of the browser, device type, and the date and time at which the session started.
