  1. Internet browser uses another user different from current


    I'm in a Win10 workstation, running 2 different sessions like: Session1 using User1 and Session2 using User2.

    User1 is a normal user in domain, with no special permissions, whileUser2 is a domain admin.

    When Users1 in Session1 opens the internet browser, the browser usesUser2 credentials, what causes me problems because of the permissions.

    If I close Session2 with User2, after a time the Session1 with User1 runs ok, wiht proper credentials of User1

    How can I understand if I can stop this behaviuour, and if not how can I avoid the mixture between both users at the browser experience.

    It doesn't matter if IE, Edge or Chrome, same situation.

    :)

  2. Internet browser uses another user different from current

    I'm in a Win10 workstation, running 2 different sessions like: Session1 using
    User1
    and Session2 using User2.

    User1 is a normal user in domain, with no special permissions, while
    User2 is a domain admin.

    When Users1 in Session1 opens the internet browser, the browser uses
    User2 credentials, what causes me problems because of the permissions.

    If I close Session2 with User2, after a time the Session1 with User1 runs ok, wiht proper credentials of User1

    How can I understand if I can stop this behaviuour, and if not how can I avoid the mixture between both users at the browser experience.

    Internet browser uses another user different from current

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
