Switch Workspaces

​
Sources

Docs: Login Web App: Select the Parable wordmark at the top of the Workspace sidebar; its Switch Workspace menu lists every Workspace you can open. Each Workspace has its own address, such as https://acme.parable.work. Signing in once gives you access to every Workspace where you are a member, and the sidebar lets you move between them without signing in again.

​
Change Workspace

  1. Select the wordmark at the top of the sidebar. When you belong to only one Workspace and cannot reach administration, the wordmark is a plain logo and there is nothing to switch.
  2. Choose a Workspace from the list. Each row shows the Workspace name and logo; the current Workspace is marked.
  3. Parable opens that Workspace at its own address. The page you were on is not carried across, because Parables, Providers, and people belong to one Workspace.
Only Workspaces where you hold membership appear. A Workspace you were removed from disappears from the list and refuses to open.

​
Parable Administration

Parable administrators see Parable Administration as the last entry. It opens the administration surface on the bare Parable host, outside any Workspace. The entry is absent for members without the administration role, and the surface refuses anyone who reaches it by address alone.

​
Local and preview environments

On localhost and managed preview hosts, Workspaces share one host instead of subdomains. The same menu works there: Parable confirms that you belong to the Workspace you chose, remembers the selection for that address only, for seven days, and returns you to the page you were on. The return path is limited to a page on the same site or under your Parable domain; anything else lands on the Workspace home page. Canonical environments always switch through Workspace subdomains. The switch is a plain link, so another site could try to point you at it. It only takes effect when the request starts from Parable itself or from your address bar; a navigation the browser attributes to another site is refused and nothing is remembered. The stored selection never travels to your other Workspace addresses and is only sent over HTTPS when that is how you reached Parable. Choosing Parable Administration forgets the selection again.
