You can download summary details for all of your linked companies via the `managed companies` page.

{% hint style="info" %}

{% endhint %}

<table><thead><tr><th width="189">Item</th><th>Notes</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>id</td><td>The internal Patchworks id for the company.</td></tr><tr><td>Name</td><td>The company profile name.</td></tr><tr><td>Plans</td><td>This is typically only relevant for Patchworks admins for non-core systems.</td></tr><tr><td>Tiers</td><td>Current core subscription tier.</td></tr><tr><td>Parent</td><td>The name of the managing company (i.e. your own company profile)</td></tr><tr><td>Created at</td><td>The date &#x26; time the company profile was created.</td></tr><tr><td>Last login</td><td>The most recent date/time that someone logged into this company profile.</td></tr><tr><td>Last flow run</td><td>The date &#x26; time of the last process flow run.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Need to know

* The fact that a company is [linked to your organisation](/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/adding-and-linking-a-new-company.md) does not necessarily mean that you or anyone else in your team has the ability to manage it. Linked companies can only be managed by users in your team who have been [granted explicit permission for access](/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/managing-team-members-and-users-for-multi-company-profiles/working-with-your-team-members/granting-and-revoking-permission-for-an-existing-team-member-to-manage-a-linked-company.md).
* Your Patchworks account must have the [manager role](/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/roles-and-permissions-summary.md) in order to view linked companies for your organisation.

## The steps

**Step 1**\
Log into the Patchworks dashboard using your own Patchworks credentials and ensure that you are [switched into your own company profile](/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/switching-in-and-out-of-a-linked-company.md).

{% hint style="info" %}
If you've been working in a managed company, click the arrow associated with your current company name, then select the `switch companies` option, followed by `switch to original company`: &#x20;

For more detailed steps, please refer to [Switching back to your own company](/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/switching-in-and-out-of-a-linked-company.md#switching-back-to-your-own-company).
{% endhint %}

**Step 2**\
Choose to [view your linked companies](/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles/viewing-linked-companies-for-your-multi-company-profile.md) for a list of all companies that you have permission to manage:

{% hint style="info" %}
If you don't see this option it means that your user account does not have the required `manager` role. In this case, [someone in your organisation with an administrator role can assign it to you](/product-documentation/users-roles-and-permissions/managing-team-members-and-users-for-multi-company-profiles/working-with-your-team-members/assigning-user-roles-for-an-existing-team-member.md). &#x20;
{% endhint %}

**Step 4**\
The CSV file is generated and saved to the default downloads folder for your browser.
