Handling multiple users

[drewr]

I've been struggling with multiple users. I often need to switch between my admin-style Datum account and my regular-user personal gmail.

% datumctl auth list
Name         Email              Status
Drew Raines  d***@datum.net  Active
% datumctl auth logout d***@datum.net
Logging out user: d***@datum.net
Logging out the active user. Clearing active user setting.
Successfully logged out user 'd***@datum.net'.
% datumctl auth login a***@gmail.com
Starting login process for auth.datum.net ...
Derived API hostname: api.datum.net

@drewr any reason datumctl auth switch wouldn't work for your use-case? You should be able to login to multiple accounts and use that command to switch between them.

Never occurred to me to logout or switch, I just run datum auth login again. Tis idempotent as it were.

I had tried datumctl auth switch already.

Figured it out. I had an old version of datumctl in my path. I was building new versions regularly in ~/.nix-profile/bin, but didn't realize there was one lingering in ~/bin. I went way too long not seeing that. 🤦

Thanks for the pair session @kevwilliams!
