What if I have lots of sub-organisations to switch into

Finding organisations

If you have a small number or sub-organisations, or you know the name, then the quickest way is to click on your own organisation name in the top bar:

Example of the top menu bar in the OpenAthens admin area, showing a link called 'Your organization name'.

This gives you a searchable list or sub-organisations you can select from.

Pop-up window titled 'Switch organization'. It contains a search field to search for another organization, followed by a list of sub-organizations within the current organization. At the bottom of the window is a 'Close' button.

If you are already switched into a sub-org, you'll see an option to return to the organisation you signed in to at the start of your session.

'Switch organization' pop-up, showing the option to 'Return to my home organization' followed by a list of other sub-organizations.

If you have many sub-organisations with similar names, perhaps in a hierarchy, you may find the organisation list useful (Management > All organisations)

The menu icon next to each organisation has a switch option

List of organizations. Following the name of each organization is a three-dot context menu. The menu for a sub-organization is expanded, showing the options 'Switch', 'Edit', 'Create' and 'Delete'.
