Invited to a client account.

[ellehaym]

I have a freelancer account. But my biz partner wants me to have an client-side account under our work email. Would Upwork ban me if I create another account under the new work email? Or should I ask him to invite me using my freelancer account?

Hi @May!

You can create a client account usin the same freelancer Upwork account. You can't have more that one account for the same person.

Your partner can indeed also create just a client account and invite you, or you can activate your Client account in your freelancer accont and then invite him. Both will work.

If you're a freelancer or agency manager now, but would like to hire others as a client

1. Go to Settings › My Teams and choose the Create New Account button at the bottom.
2. Choose New Client Account
3. Once set up, use the account menu at the top-right of your screen to switch between using Upwork as a client, freelancer, or agency
