Enable fast switching for organizations and linked appliances

Enable fast switching for organizations and linked appliances

Fast switching makes it possible to switch between interfaces without logging in to each item separately. On appliances with the Organization component enabled, these interfaces include the Admin and System levels of the Administrator Console the User Console, and linked K-Series appliances,

Fast switching is enabled by default on appliances without the Organization component enabled. In addition, the link to the User Console appears by default, provided that the logged-in user has permission to access both the Administrator Console and the User Console.

To appear in the drop-down list for fast switching, organizations must have the same admin account password; only those organizations whose admin account passwords match appear in the list. Linked appliances have similar requirements.

1.
Go to the General Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.

NOTE: This setting is available only if the Organization component is enabled on your appliance.
