OrganizationSetInSession URL

Switches the current active organization for the user to the specified organization.

Switches the current active organization for the user to the specified organization. The active organization enables a user to be entitled not only to contracts that belong to his/her parent organization but also to any organization where he/she plays the Organization Participant role. The active organization to be switched to must not be locked.

Note: Ensure that the change flow option is enabled, allowing you to change which Organization is set in the session. By enabling the change flow option, your store page allows you to change the Organization.

Behavior

  • Checks if any of the parent of the specified organization is locked.
  • Checks if the organization specified is the parent organization of the user. If it is not, then checks whether the user plays the Organization Participant role in the specified organization or any of its ancestors.
  • If all validations pass, saves the activeOrgId in the command context and it will then be saved in the session at the end of the request. In subsequent requests, the activeOrgId value will be restored.
  • Resets all the contract information such that new contracts can be applied to reflect the change in active organization.

Exception conditions

  • If activeOrgId is not specified, an ECApplicationException will be thrown with a message key of _ERR_MISSING_PARAMS.
  • If activeOrgId does not exist or is not valid, an ECApplicationException will be thrown with a message key of _ERR_MEMBER_INVALID_ORGANIZATION.
