  1. Node Management

Navigate Between MSP Nodes

The MSP Portal uses nodes to scope access, users, and managed companies. Node selection is handled per page using a Node filter. This article explains how node switching works, where to find the node filter, and how node context affects visibility and actions. Understanding node context is essential before managing users, companies, or permissions.

How Node Switching Works#

Node selection in the MSP Portal is page-specific. Each supported page includes a Node filter that allows you to switch the current node context for that page only. Examples of pages that support node switching:
1.
Managed Companies
2.
User Management
3.
Roles and Service Accounts
Switching nodes on one page does not automatically change the node context on other pages.

Switching Between Nodes#

The page will refresh automatically and display data scoped to the selected node.
The Node filter is displayed near the top of supported pages and is labelled Node:
