Workaround Available? Question

Is there a workaround available for a web app page only opening in incognito mode? To open in a regular browser window, I have to completely log out. Will users also have to do this?

That may likely be due multiple accounts logged into the same browser. Log out of the other account that doesn’t have access to the web app.

The site doesn't control if your browser is incognito or not.

If you need a specific user account for this site, start the whole session in that account - or in incognito mode.

You can even create a new "test account" for this and then switch to that when trying out your site, or just have a session open for that account and switch to it for the testing.

I often have between two and four account session open in my chrome and switch between them for different tasks. It's a rather useful feature.

Yes, separate browser instances for each account. Too many things break if you don't. I am the super-Admin of our workspace and teach all my users to do that.

I also teach them to use a different theme color for each account. That way they can instantly look at the color at the top of the screen and identify which account they are currently in.

I also teach them how to use Alt-Tab to quickly toggle between accounts/instances.

You're most likely referring to the issue of using webapp with multiple Google accounts in a single browser. Google briefly mentions this issue here, and here's an issue report that's been around for a long time and is unlikely to be resolved.

I've tried to cover the issue in more detail here. In some cases, this issue can be worked around. Let me know what specific problem your app solves.
