Sign in around Organisational Account
Anonymous Ok. So here is what I found. There is no issue with either incognito or a different profile provided you are using a different domain. The pain is when you have multiple accounts using the same domain.
The only way around this, that is currently broken for me due to network configurations, was to set up a virtual machine that I could spin up on my desktop to log into, then connect using the other set of credentials. I think this VM was stood up outside the domain somehow (I forget) - which is why this worked. The only other bit I've found was this post about trying to bypass the behavior, but I don't want to muck around with this on my machine atm.
Anonymous This sounds like your organization has "single sign on" enabled. I have this same scenario and as a consultant it is infuriating working with multiple accounts for clients. The options given above, especially the second profile should work, but you can't be logged in to any other service that has already authenticated you. From my understanding of things this "cookie" will just auto sign you in.
Hi GilbertQ,
IT just came by and even with their full administration rights, they are unable to change the security settings to manual log in. :(
Hi Anonymous,
Good to know someone else has the issue and it's not me doing something silly.
Since you have gotten around the problem before and you mentioned it's one of the solution's guavaq mentioned which I thought I tried, can I please confirm that I've understood it and this is the setting in chrome?
I logged out of PowerBI and the PowerBi forums, added/changed to Person 2 then attempted to log back into powerbi.
Appreciate the confirmation from someone who's gotten around it before that I'm doing it right.

Anonymous I'll verify the steps when I'm at work tomorrow. I don't have the same issues when I'm logged in outside the domain.

I'd really appreciate that, thank you :)
Anonymous Oh ok, so it sounds like, the external party will be able to just use the incognito method, and it's just that my "test" method wasn't an accurate test of the circumstances they will encounter.
That clarification helps a lot! Thank you!
Since my end goal was for my client to log into our account, this question is solved for me. And for anyone else reading this thread they can use the link you've given.
Thanks for your help, GilbertQ as well! really helpful guys :)
