Abstract
In a business application, contexts can be switched based on a selected customer. A first authorization profile can be associated with the business application. The authorization profile can restrict a user's ability to access, enter new or update existing information. In response to selection of a first element, such as a customer, the authorization profile can be switched to a second, different authorization profile with different read and/or write privileges. Context switching can also be used which includes additional features beyond the authorization profile. For example, personalization parameters that affect look and feel can be swapped. Additionally, available actions or pages accessible in the application can be swapped.
