Navigating Organizations

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This guide explains how to switch between organizations in Layer5 Cloud and describes the order of precedence that determines your active organization context.

Understanding Organization Context 🔗

When you work in Layer5 Cloud, your current organization context determines:

Which resources you can view (designs, environments, connections, workspaces)
Where new resources are created when you add them
What permissions and access levels apply to your actions

Organization-Scoped Experience
