# Switching Organizations
Belong to several Kilo IoT organizations from one account — switch context via the My organizations list in the menu.
A single Kilo IoT account can belong to multiple organizations. You might be the owner of your team's primary organization, have view-only access in a partner's organization, and hold edit access in a testing environment — all under one login. Switching between organizations changes the context of the entire interface.
## Where to Find It
Open the user menu by clicking your avatar in the sidebar. Below the menu items, you will see the **My organizations** section listing every organization you belong to.
Each organization entry shows:
* The organization name
* An **Owner** badge if you are the owner of that organization
* A **checkmark** next to the organization you are currently working in
## How to Switch
Click any organization name in the list. The interface immediately switches to that organization's context. Your selection is saved — when you next open the platform, it returns to the last organization you selected.
## What Changes
When you switch organizations, the platform reflects the scope and permissions of the new organization. Organization-scoped areas such as the Users page and the Audit Trail show data from the selected organization. Your access level may differ between organizations — for example, you may have Owner access in one organization and Viewer access in another.
## How You Join an Organization
There are two paths into an organization:
* **Automatic default organization.** When you first access the platform, a default organization is created for you automatically. See [How Organizations Start](/account/how-organizations-start.md).
* **Invitation.** A member of an existing organization invites you to join. See [Inviting Users](/account/inviting-users.md) and [Accepting Invitations](/account/accepting-invitations.md).
You always belong to at least one organization. If your default organization is the only one, the **My organizations** section shows just that single entry.

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.kiloiot.io/account/switching-organizations.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
