As a part of this feature, Nobl9 offers the ability to toggle between organizations easily and securely.

For example, Nobl9 users can leverage this feature to switch between their production and sandbox organizations to experiment with the Nobl9 Platform and their SLOs in a safe environment that doesn’t disrupt their production environment and SLOs.

Create new organization

You can request to create a new non-production organization:

• Upon registering to Nobl9

• By contacting Nobl9 support

Manage your organizations

You can identify the organization you’re currently in by checking the label in the top-right corner of your screen, next to your user’s icon:

3. Choose the organization you’d like to switch to and click it.

tip

You can also switch organizations using deep links.

Switch organizations in sloctl

You can also switch through organizations by using sloctl config commands. For more details, refer to sloctl user guide.

tip

Use the sloctl config add-context command to add a new organization context to sloctl.

For example, to preview available organizations, use the sloctl config get-contexts -v command, which will produce the following output:

All available contexts: [production, sandbox]

Context: production
    ClientID: # secret
    ClientSecret: # secret
    Project: default
    Organization: production

Context: sandbox
    ClientID: # secret
    ClientSecret: # secret
    Project: default
    Organization: sandbox

Invite users to an organization

Organization admins can invite users to an organization:

1. Switch to the organization you want to invite users to.
2. Go to Settings > Users.
3. Add the users you want to invite, one at a time.

Invitation emails

Invited users will receive the following e-mail from Nobl9:

When a user clicks the button link, they can either:

• Manually switch to the organization by clicking on their screen’s user icon in the top-right corner of the app:

• Accept a prompt from the Nobl9 Platform to change their current organization:

Deep links and switching organizations

The ID of the current organization is stored in the URL that you can check in your browser’s address bar. The following link shows an example of a deep link to the main page of the Service Health Dashboard in the production organization:

app.nobl9.com/service-health?org=production&page=1

The org parameter notes

Deep links without the org parameter automatically redirect to a default organization, which is individual for every user.

When a user has no access to the organization specified with the org parameter, they cannot access the indicated resource.

You can switch organizations with deep links.
For this, replace the value of the org parameter with the required organization ID in the address bar.

When you switch organizations with the deep link, and:


• • The specified organization doesn't exist, or
  • You have no access to the specified organization, then

You're redirected to the Need permission screen.
Additionally, you are prompted to select an organization available for you:

caution

You can’t migrate SLOs between organizations and retain their historical data.
