Power BI Using Multiple User Accounts

Here is a super helpful video from Guy in a Cube about how to have multiple logins using Google Chrome.  Often I find my self juggling between a work account and my PowerBI.Tips accounts to test out various Power BI features.  This little trick definitely saves you time and headache when jumping between accounts.

Side note: I also found this great technique works on Azure (portal.azure.com) if you frequent this site for work and for your other adventures.  

This topic was originally talked about via James Callaghan and the Chris Webb’s Blog.
