Profiles

Each login is bound to one organization. To use more than one organization at the same time, give each login a name with --profile (like the AWS CLI):

rightdocuments login --profile siegel-bebeni          # select the organization in the browser
rightdocuments clients --profile siegel-bebeni
export RIGHTDOCUMENTS_PROFILE=siegel-bebeni           # or set it once for the shell
rightdocuments profiles                               # * marks the profile in use

Without --profile or $RIGHTDOCUMENTS_PROFILE, the CLI uses the default profile. Tokens are kept in ~/.netrc (machine NAME@app.rightdocuments.com; the default profile uses the plain host).
