Sign in around Organisational Account

Hi, I have a similar issue to this one, however my understanding of the solution is it wont apply for me:

http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Testing-Security-using-PowerBI/m-p/92489

(Basically trying to log into an account on web which differs from organisation log in, but we are forced into the PC account)

 

The above solution is based on the log in still happening in the same organisation on a local on-premises data source.

 

For my issue, it's not a case that I with admin permissions need to log into another account, but that our client needs to log into an account we have provided for them to demo powerBI, but they cannot get around their own company's log in.

 

Is there a way for them to log into the account we have provided for them through the online services while logged in to their own organisation PC which is also a Microsoft account?

 

They can easily log into it on their personal PC's, but it's not great for us to ask them to not use their work computers!

 

Kind Regards,

 

Tiara

@Anonymous Ok. So here is what I found. There is no issue with either incognito or a different profile provided you are using a different domain. The pain is when you have multiple accounts using the same domain.

The only way around this, that is currently broken for me due to network configurations, was to set up a virtual machine that I could spin up on my desktop to log into, then connect using the other set of credentials. I think this VM was stood up outside the domain somehow (I forget) - which is why this worked. The only other bit I've found was this post about trying to bypass the behavior, but I don't want to muck around with this on my machine atm.
