Select your avatar, then Switch organization, then the Account you want. The item is labelled "organization" but it switches Accounts.
Switch from the avatar menu
- Select your avatar at the top right. The block at the top shows the Account you are in and your role in it.
- Select Switch organization.
- Select the Account you want. Where you hold more than one role in the same Account, each role is listed separately.
The menu closes and confirms Account switched. The page reloads under the new membership.
Switch organization appears only when there is somewhere to go: you belong to more than one Account, or you hold more than one role in the Account you are in.
Switch from your Settings page
- Select your avatar, then Settings.
- On Personal Info, scroll to Organizations & roles.
- Select Switch on the row you want. The row you are already using shows Selected instead.
What changes when you switch
The set of apps on Launchpad, the Spaces you can open, what each app shows, and whether you administer the Account. Nothing about your profile changes: your photo, name and About are yours across every Account.
If it did not work

- Switch is unavailable on a row that carries no membership identifier. That row cannot be selected.
- After a successful switch an app you were using may 404 or send you to the App Store, because it is not installed in the Account you moved to.
