What an Account is
An Account owns your apps, Spaces and data; it sits inside an Organization, and you hold one role in each Account you belong to.

An Account is the unit that owns your apps, your Spaces and your data. Every app you open, every Space you post in and every file you upload belongs to exactly one Account.
Three levels describe where you are:
- Organization — a group of Accounts. It is not a surface you work in.
- Account — the tenancy. Apps are made available and installed per Account, and administration happens here.
- Space — a place inside an Account where people work together.
Your membership
You can be a member of more than one Account. Each membership pairs an Account with one role, and you act under one membership at a time. The pair you are currently using appears in two places:
- Your avatar menu, above the menu items, showing the Account and the role beneath it.
- My profile, as the line Account: followed by the Account name.
Your full list is on the Settings page, under Personal Info, in the table Organizations & roles. It has three columns, Organization, Role and Action, and the membership you are using is marked Selected.
Why the same person sees different things in two Accounts
Access is decided per membership, not per person. An app can be installed for you in one Account and absent in another; a role can carry a capability in one Account and not the other. Changing Account therefore changes which apps appear, which Spaces you can open, and what an app shows you inside itself. See An app is missing.
Naming
The product says Account. Some interface strings still read "organization", such as the membership table Organizations & roles, and they act on Accounts.
