Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are normal Meraki Admin accounts shared with Canada admin accounts? Can I see my Canada Organizations and Non-Canada Organizations on the same dashboard/logged into the same account?
No. The accounts created on the Canada dashboard are totally separate from non-Canada accounts and do not cross over or share any information or org membership information.
