Cause
In ArcGIS Online
- This issue occurs when a user attempts to log in as soon as a user from a different organization has logged out from the sign in page. The URL of the sign in page contains the short URL of the previous organization logged in. ArcGIS Online assumes the second username belongs to the same organization.
The image below shows the short URL and the organization's name on the sign in page after a user has logged out.
- A user attempts to log in to an organizational account using a public account.
In ArcGIS Pro and ArcMap
- The portal connection is configured with the URL of a specific organization. Therefore, when a user attempts to log in as soon as a user from a different organization has logged out, ArcGIS Online assumes the second user is from the same organization.
