# How-To: Match Accounts

## After this article...

You'll know how to match an account from an app to a User in Lumos.

## Why should you match Unmatched accounts?

Accounts in Lumos that aren't matched to a user are labeled "Unmatched". More info on how that happens can be found here:[How does Lumos match accounts?](/kb/identities/account_matching/how-does-lumos-match-accounts)

When an account is matched to a User in Lumos, you'll be able to view that account, along with the rest of the accounts that belong to that User, on that User's page in Lumos.

This provides a better picture of what app accounts each employee has and enables you to tie an account to a specific employee identity during audits and other routine exercises.

## Steps

**1. Find the account you want to match**

If the match is successful, the account will be matched to the Lumos User you selected and should no longer be labeled "Unmatched".
