# Switching accounts

> Switch between multiple Porto organizations.

If you're part of multiple Porto organizations, you can easily switch between them without logging out. Each organization is a separate account with its own vaults, users, and policies.

## Switch accounts

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the home screen">
    From anywhere in the Porto app, tap the home icon or navigate to the main screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tap the account switcher">
    Look for the account name or organization name at the top of the screen (usually in the header or navigation bar). Tap it to open the account switcher menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the account">
    Choose the organization you want to switch to from the list of accounts you're a member of.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the switch">
    The app will load the new account's vaults, settings, and activity. You're now viewing that organization's data.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Switching accounts doesn't log you out of your Porto user account — it just changes which organization's data you're viewing. Your login credentials remain the same.
</Note>

## Account-specific information

Each account shows:

* **Vaults** — The vaults that belong to this organization
* **Activity** — Transactions, approvals, and user management changes for this organization only
* **Settings** — Organization-specific settings, policies, and user management (if you have admin access)
* **Users** — The participants in this organization and their roles

You cannot see other organizations' data while viewing a different account. Your permissions and role are organization-specific — you might be an Admin in one organization and a Viewer in another.

## Managing accounts

To add yourself to a new organization, you need an invitation from that organization's administrator. See [Joining an account](/knowledge-base/porto/getting-started/joining-accounts) for details.

To remove yourself from an organization or have an administrator remove you, see [Removing a user](/knowledge-base/porto/users/remove-user).

## Biometric authentication

When you switch accounts, the app may ask you to complete biometric authentication (Face ID or Touch ID) to confirm the switch, depending on your organization's security policies. This helps ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive vaults and assets.
