To join an existing Red Hat account, the account Organization Administrator would perform one of the following procedures: 

* Manually create a new login ID under the existing account using the **Add New User** option from the [User Management](https://www.redhat.com/wapps/ugc/protected/usermgt/userList.html) page.

* Use the **Invite New Users** option from the [User Management](https://www.redhat.com/wapps/ugc/protected/usermgt/userList.html) page to send the user an invitation email that will allow them to create a new login ID for the existing account. If this option is used, the process will NOT ask to choose a company name or account type as those items have already been set. **The user should not complete the process if asked to choose an account type or company name as it will result in a separate account being created that will not have access to the existing company account.**
