The organization switcher lists only the organizations the user is a member of. Holders of View All Organizations can also select All Organizations. See [Navigating Organizations]({{< ref "cloud/guides/organizations/org-management/navigating-organizations.md" >}}).

### Which organization a new connection joins

Every connection you register belongs to one organization, which Layer5 Cloud assigns; you never choose it in the request. It is, in order:

1. The organization selected for the session: the organization picker in the UI, or the `X-Current-Orgid` header a client sends.
2. If none is selected, the only organization you belong to.
3. If you belong to several, the only one of them you own.

If none of these names exactly one organization, creating the connection is refused with `meshery_cloud-3632` (_Select an organization before registering a connection_). Select an organization and register again. Re-registering a connection you already have is never refused for this reason. A Meshery Server registers connections on your behalf without a header, so it uses your selected organization.

Editing or re-registering a connection never moves it to another organization.

State the deleted-connection exception explicitly.

Line 129 says re-registering never moves a connection. Line 131 says re-registering a deleted connection assigns it to the current organization. State that deleted-connection revival is an exception, and limit Line 129 to existing connections.

Also applies to: 131-131

Update the statement about editing or re-registering connections to apply only
to existing connections, and explicitly state that reviving a deleted connection
is an exception that assigns it to the current organization. Keep the existing
behavior description consistent across both statements.

Registering a connection you deleted brings it back, and it joins the organization it is registered in now, not the one it had before. Registering a connection ID that belongs to someone else, or to a connection of a different kind, is refused with `meshery_cloud-3633` (_The connection id is already in use_). The answer is the same whether or not that connection exists. Register without an ID, or with the ID of a connection you own.

Connections created before October 2026 had no organization. Each was assigned the organization it could be traced to: the organization of the profiles it is linked to, else the organization of its environments, else its owner's only organization, else the only one of its owner's organizations the owner owns. Connections that could not be traced to exactly one organization were deleted, along with any credential no other connection used. Register them again to recreate them.

## Lifecycle

[Organization Management]({{< ref "cloud/guides/organizations/org-management/_index.md" >}}) covers the procedures.

Every connection created under this contract belongs to exactly one organization. The server assigns

never refused for this reason, and it keeps the organization it already has. Connections created before the
v1beta3 contract (October 2026) may carry no organization; they are the only exception to the one-organization
rule.
