Testing With Multiple Accounts
What This Does
QA workflows for Google-integrated apps require two browsers or two Chrome Profiles so each session has independent cookies and OAuth tokens.
Why It's Useful
Testing share permissions in one browser often fails because Google caches the first user's permissions. True multi-user testing needs isolation.
How to Do It
- Open your app in Profile A (developer/admin account)
- Open the share link in Profile B (test user account)
- Verify view, comment, and edit permissions separately
- Clear cookies only as a last resort—profiles are faster
Try This Now
Share a Drive file with a second account and open the link in a separate Chrome Profile.
Mental Hook: Profile A builds, Profile B clicks the link.
