# Switching Organisations

If you are a member of more than one organisation, you can switch between them at any time using the account menu in the **top-right corner** of the application.

## How to Switch

1. Click on your **account button** in the top-right corner — it displays your current organisation name and your user name.
2. A dropdown menu opens. Under the **Organisations** section, all organisations you belong to are listed. The currently active one is highlighted.
3. Click the name of the organisation you want to switch to.

The application will reload with the selected organisation's data.

## Before You Switch

> **Important:** Before switching organisations, navigate to a general page such as the [Home]({APP_HOST}/) page first. If you switch while viewing a resource that belongs to the current organisation — such as a specific dashboard, entity project, alert rule, or similar — the application may show an error because that resource does not exist in the other organisation.

Safe pages to be on before switching:

- [Home]({APP_HOST}/) *(recommended)*
- [Dashboards]({APP_HOST}/dashboards)
- [News]({APP_HOST}/documents/search)
- [Alerts]({APP_HOST}/alerts)
