# Belonging to several Organizations

> Switch between Organizations, create another one, and accept invitations from new ones.

Plenty of people belong to more than one team, such as their company and a
client who also works in Rally. One Rally account can belong
to several Organizations, and you move between them from the account menu
without signing out.

As the [chapter opening](https://rallywith.ai/help/running-an-organization.md) said, Organizations are separate worlds. Channels, Spaces, Sidekicks, connections and members never cross from
one to another. Rally shows you one Organization at a time.

> [!NOTE]
> Rally is turning on the Organization switcher gradually, so your account may
> not have it yet. If the account menu shows only **Sidekicks**, **Settings**
> and **Log out**, the switcher is not on for you. Everything else in Rally
> works the same, and you can still accept invitations when you sign in, as
> described in [Create or join an Organization](https://rallywith.ai/help/getting-started/create-or-join-an-organization.md).

## The account menu

Click your name or picture at the bottom-left of the window. When the switcher
is on, the menu has an **Organizations** section listing each Organization you
belong to.

- A **check mark** sits beside the one you are in now.
- A **green dot** beside another one means something has happened there. Hover
  over it for the details, such as how many mentions are waiting for you, or
  how many Channels are waiting for your input. **Unread activity** means there
  is something new to look at, but nothing is waiting on you.
- If you belong to Organizations in different regions, each row also shows its
  region.

If Rally could not fetch the latest counts, the menu says **Counts last
updated** and how long ago, so you know the dots may be out of date.

There is deliberately no combined inbox across Organizations. Each one keeps
its own activity, and the dots are there to tell you when it is worth hopping
over.

## Switch to another Organization

Click its name in the **Organizations** section. A small spinner appears on the
row while Rally gets it ready, then Rally reopens in that Organization, with
its own Spaces, Channels and settings.

Now and then Rally asks you to confirm who you are before it opens another
Organization, usually because you have not been there for a while. The row
then says **Finish signing in to Rally in your browser**, and your browser
opens. Sign in there and Rally carries on. If you closed the browser tab by
mistake, click the row again to reopen it.

If switching does not work, the row tells you why:

- **Connect to open this organization.** You are offline. Rally needs a
  connection to open a different Organization.
- **You are no longer a member of this organization.** Your access has ended,
  and the list refreshes to drop it. See [Leaving, removing and closing](https://rallywith.ai/help/running-an-organization/leaving-and-removing.md).
- **Rally could not open this organization.** Something else went wrong. Try
  again in a moment, and if it keeps happening, see [Contacting support](https://rallywith.ai/help/help-and-glossary/contact-support.md).

## Accept an invitation from a new Organization

When someone in another Organization invites you, the invitation appears in the
same menu, under **Invitations**, as **Join** and the Organization's name, with
**Invited by** and the person's name underneath. Rally may also pop up the
invitation by itself.

Click it to open a dialog, then choose **Join**, **Not now** or **Decline**.
The full details, including the email you receive, are in
[Create or join an Organization](https://rallywith.ai/help/getting-started/create-or-join-an-organization.md).

After you join, the new Organization appears in the **Organizations** list,
ready to switch to.

## Create another Organization

On the Mac, the account menu does not currently offer a way to create a second
Organization. On your iPhone, the **Organizations** screen has a **Create an
organization** section, as described in
[Rally on your iPhone](https://rallywith.ai/help/rally-everywhere/rally-on-iphone.md). An
Organization created there belongs to your account, so it appears in the Mac's
account menu too when the switcher is on.

Whoever creates an Organization becomes its owner, with everything that comes
with that (see [Roles](https://rallywith.ai/help/running-an-organization/roles.md)). It starts with nobody in it but you, so the
next stop is [Inviting people](https://rallywith.ai/help/running-an-organization/inviting-people.md). An Organization of one
is tidy, but the meetings are a bit quiet.
