# Switching Organizations (/docs/organizations/switch)



## In the app [#in-the-app]

The Org switcher is in the app shell. Click it to:

* Switch active organization.
* Create a new organization.
* See your role in each organization you're a member of.

The selected organization is persisted across sessions.

## Via URL [#via-url]

Direct links include the organization ID where applicable:

* `/organizations/{orgId}` — organization dashboard.
* `/organizations/{orgId}/projects` — the organization's project list.
* `/project/{projectId}/...` — project URLs are scoped to the organization
  that owns the project.

## Via CLI [#via-cli]

```bash
layers orgs list              # list orgs you belong to
layers orgs switch <org-id>   # set default org for subsequent commands
layers whoami                 # confirm active identity
```

See [CLI Authorization](/docs/account/cli-auth) for setup.
