On the far right hand side, the ribbon bar displays all playable stakeholders for the current project. The currently active stakeholder is displayed with a blue background. An occupied  stakeholder (selected by another user) is indicated with a gray background. Available stakeholders are displayed with a white background. This stakeholder becomes available for selection again when a user switches to a different stakeholder, or logs out of the {{software}}.
The stakeholder buttons enable users to switch between stakeholders by selecting the corresponding button. You can only switch to a stakeholder that is not yet selected by another user.
The stakeholder buttons are always visible, independently of the tab currently selected in the ribbon header.
===Switching stakeholders===
Switching a stakeholder is done by pressing an available stakeholder button (displayed with a white background). Keep in mind that, when switching a stakeholder you will also switch the indicators, budget and actions among others. You will make an identity switch!
