As a consultant I frequently work with customers who want to add me to their Power BI tenant so I can publish reports, monitor data refresh and so on. However, this means I end up with many different Microsoft “Work or School” accounts, one for each customer, and signing in and out of each one can be a real pain. I use Chrome as my main browser so instead I create one profile in Chrome for each customer – it makes it very easy to switch between Power BI accounts without having to sign in and out.

…and here’s the blog post by James Callaghan on using this feature with multiple Office 365 subscriptions that I got the idea from:

It looks like you can do something similar with other browsers too.
I want this profile feature in Microsoft Edge.
I use a powershell statement that opens up multiple IE sessions with different AD users.

Brilliant – Thanks Chris – as Kawabata said now we just need Microsoft to put this into Edge!
That is really useful. Just removed a whole bunch of irritation from my life.
I use Incognito windows to achieve something similar, but without requiring a Google account for each PBI account. InPrivate windows in Edge work as well. The limit seems to be one account per browser, at a time.
You don’t need separate Google accounts for each Profile in Chrome – I only have one Google account.
Thanks!
