Allow multiple tenants to be open at the same time

Product Feedback

Feature:
It would be nice to be able to have multiple tenants open at the same time in different tabs.

Description:
Currently I cannot have multiple tenants open at the same time. For instance, if I open my prod tenant in tab one, and then open dev tenant in tab two, tab one will automatically switch to dev tenant. It would be nice for that not to happen.

Use-case:
I would like to be able to compare two tenants side by side so I can easily keep certain settings and applications in sync.

Maybe there is already a way to do this (keep tenants synced that is)?

Let’s hope it attracts as many votes as possible to allow multiple tenants to be opened at the same time.

We submitted a support request for this exact feature since it’s annoying to work with the dashboard and not be able to have multiple tenants open without being in different browsers / icognito windows

@max5 / @nick.royer - I use a Chrome plugin called SessionBox. Its freely available and allows you to work with multiple sandboxed sessions in a single Chrome session. The end result is that you can have a tab per tenant open.

I’ve been using this plugin for a couple of years now to work around this problem when dealing with AWS accounts where I’m authenticating with SAML using IAM roles.

I also find this to be a huge annoyance with the auth0 frontend. Being able to visit different pages (tenants) in different tabs is a common use case, especially for comparing production and staging tenants

what is it about the architecture of Auth0’s frontend that makes this non-trivial?

Bump: I’m still interested in this.

This “feature” is outright dangerous. My team have made unintentional changes to prod because Auth0 reloaded a window to silently switch tenancies in the background.

In an effort to use Auth0 like every other multi-tenanted app out there, I’ve been using two separate browser profiles to have two tenancies open at the same time (omg amazing). However got caught again as when you re-log in after session expiry time, you’ll be redirected to the default tenancy, as opposed to the one you were looking at before you got signed out. TBH, Auth0 should actually close the window when they sign out a session, it’d be no less of an impost on the user and would at least be safe.

Auth0 should allow you to configure distinct colours/themes for the tenancy pages, so you can make prod yellow or such as a visual clue instead of the current gaslighting.

In the meantime, I’m going to have to create separate admin accounts and set the default login tenancy accordingly. Rather frustrating, especially for a business who’s sole purpose is authn/authz.
