Linked Accounts
Linked Accounts connect a Passport identity to external accounts, communities, services, games, and tools.
Why linking matters
Linking lets AeThex recognize the same person across multiple ecosystem surfaces.
A linked account should never replace Passport. Passport remains the primary identity layer; linked accounts add context for integrations such as Discord, game platforms, developer tools, or partner services.
Common linked account types
- Discord or community accounts.
- Git or developer platform accounts.
- Game or experience accounts.
- Organization-managed service accounts.
- Support or ticketing identities.
Linking flow
- User starts from Passport or an integration surface.
- External service proves account ownership.
- AeThex records the connection and metadata.
- Permissions are evaluated separately through Permissions.
- Users can review or disconnect links where supported.
Warning
A linked account proves account control, not automatic authorization. Always check roles, scopes, and project access separately.
