    It would appear it's somehow possible to be simultaneously logged into the dashboard as different users at the same time.

    Given that is seemingly the case, it'd be nice if it was possible to switch between logged in users.

    I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

      You cannot be logged in with different users within the same session into the OpenID provider. However you can login with OpenID into an app at which point its up to the app to handle its own session or not. So if an app has its own session handling, it is now independent from the OpenID provider session, so you could logout from that, and relogin with another user. That would still not affect the app's own session. So a lot here depends on the app and not so much how Cloudron provides OpenID. Still there are some things we can improve like an account switcher during OpenID app login. This is on our roadmap, but Cloudron still has little means to interfere or change the session owned by the app itself.

        Well, (as per the link I shared) seemingly somehow I did manage to do that. I was logged into my dashboard as jdaviescoates, then I logged out and I was already logged in as uniteddiversity 🤷

        That is the thing that currently actually seems impossible to do with lots of apps (e.g. Mastodon) on Cloudron at present (if you log out and then try to login again, it just logs you back in as the user you just logged out as).
