Org Switching
Organization switching is a conditional control in the current dashboard, not a universal one. Use this guide only if the top bar shows an org selector instead of a fixed org name.

When The Switcher Appears
- The top bar only renders the org switcher when you are signed in, an active org exists, and that active org is marked as a system org.
- If you are signed in to a non-system org, the top bar shows a static org label instead of a dropdown.
- If there is no current org context, the switcher does not render at all.

Step-By-Step
- Look at the top bar and confirm that the current org name appears with a dropdown indicator.
- Open the dropdown and review the list of organizations available to your session.
- Select a different org only when you need to change operational context.
- Wait for the dashboard to finish switching before you continue your work.
- Confirm the top bar now shows the org you intended to use.
What The Menu Means
- The currently active org is highlighted in the menu.
- System orgs are labeled so you can tell when you are operating inside a privileged context.
- A
New Organizationaction may appear in this menu, but that is not the ordinary onboarding path described in Getting Started.
Guardrails
- Do not assume every authenticated user can switch orgs. The control is tied to the current org context and available memberships.
- Do not assume every authenticated user can create a new org. Backend org creation is reserved for controlled admin flows rather than normal first-use onboarding.
- If you expected the switcher and only see a fixed org name, treat that as a visibility rule, not a broken UI.
If You Cannot Switch
- If the switcher is missing, confirm that you are in the correct org and that your current context actually exposes multi-org controls.
- If the menu opens but does not list the org you need, ask your operator to verify your memberships before you continue.
- If a switch fails after you choose a different org, reload once and then escalate to your operator if the dashboard stays on the old context.
