Summary

An organization switcher provides a smooth, intuitive way for users to change context and access the data and settings relevant to a specific organization. It ensures that each view, resource, and action is properly scoped to the selected organization, helping maintain both usability and security. To implement an organization switcher in a React application using WorkOS, you need to install the WorkOS React library, set secrets such as API keys and client IDs, and then add an organization switcher widget or manually implement authentication UI using the WorkOS API. The organization switcher allows users to switch between organizations without the friction of logging out and back in, ensuring a seamless and secure experience. With WorkOS handling SSO, user management, and organizational context, you can focus on implementing frontend and backend logic needed to switch organizations cleanly and securely.
