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

1. Select your avatar at the top right. The block at the top shows the Account you are in and your role in it.
2. Select **Switch organization**.
3. 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

1. Select your avatar, then **Settings**.
2. On **Personal Info**, scroll to **Organizations & roles**.
3. 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

- **An error occurred while switching account. Please try again.** means the switch was rejected part-way. Reload the page and check the Account shown in the avatar menu before retrying.
- **No accounts available.** in the switcher means the membership list came back empty. Reload the page; if it stays empty, see [Help and support](/help/system/help-and-support).
- **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.
