Use Edge Dev Profiles

If you need a convincing reason to use Edge Dev, user profiles might be it. I need access to various Power BI tenants that I need to log in. Or, your organization might have multiple Power BI tenants, such as a byproduct of acquisitions. Previously, I had to either use multiple browsers, open an incognito session (the caveat is that you can’t have two incognito sessions with different credentials), or install browser extensions to support simultaneous open sessions to Power BI. Now, all I have to do is to create a profile for each client. To do so:

  1. Open Edge Dev.
  2. Click the Profile icon in the top right and then click Add Profile.
  3. Follow the steps to log in using the needed credentials.

Once the profile is created, click the profile icon and then click the desired profile. This will open a new normal (not incognito) session side by side with the other Edge DEV window. Now you have two session connected to two different Power BI tenants!
