I have two accounts with Bentley Communities, and have had them for some time.
I have the business account, which is connected to my employer for IMS authentical for licensing, support and such. This account is not perpetual, in that if I were to change employment, I would be assigned a different account. This will hereafter be referred to as "BM"
I also have a personal Communities account that I have had for about as long as there have been Communities. I have the personal account so that I can maintain a consistent online presence, and so my participation is not limited to my time at any certain employer. Hereafter referred to as "MB"
In the past, it seems that I have been able to log into certain portions of the Bentley site with one account, while logging into another area with the other account. For example, I could stay logged into Communities as MB and I could open another browser tab to the Service Request Manager and log in as BM. This never seemed to cause any issues unless I accidentally chose the wrong account for a certain area (easily fixed).
Today, I attempted to go the the old Service Manager so that I could try to collect whatever is left of my old service requests since they will no loner be available through the new "service portal". I was unable to log into that site separately since I was logged into my communities account. Fine. I logged MB out so that I could turn around and log BM in. That was only so successful (but that's a separate issue). With my business completed at the moment, I attempted to log out of BM and I got the following error message:
Is your work using federated logins for IMS? Is your work account password the same as the password you login to your computer with?
my employer has federated accounts and I don't have to login to communities from my work computer, it is automatically logged in with my work credentials. So it's possible you are just being automatically logged back in whenever you log out.
That would be horrible!!!
