Edge for Business Profile Issues

Hi All,

 

We use Microsoft Edge profiles as follows:

 

1. "Work" profile for our standard daily work tasks with a regular user account.

2. "Admin" profile for administration tasks using a separate admin user account.

 

Since Microsoft pushed Edge for Business we have not been able to login to our Microsoft 365 tenant with our Admin user accounts. We are being automatically logged in with our regular user account even when using the Administrator profile. I have checked out Internet Options > Security >Trusted Sites > User Authentication settings and this is set to "Automatically Logon on in Intranet Zone".

 

 

I have also changed the profile settings in Edge for Business so that Automatically Switch Profiles is turned off????

 

Does anyone know how we stop Edge for Business automatically logging in as my standard user account rather than letting me manually login with the Admin account when using my Administrator Profile?

      Hi Thilo... Good point! 🙂

      We cannot login to our M365 Tenant with our Admin account. Instead, we are auto logged in with our standard user account.

        HLUALHT Hello!  I'm not sure if this will work in your specific scenario as you have 2 work profiles, but looking at the Microsoft Edge for Business FAQ it recommends customizing the profile used for a specific sites. 

        In my settings I also see "Profile preferences for sites", which you could try to designate using the admin profile, rather than the normal work profile, when logging in.
