open SharePoint designer by another account

Question

I have two SharePoint accounts and I tried to open SharePoint designer by another account, and I switched account to my second account,

but the Issue is when I create workflows and publish it, from the information of workflow the last modified by gives me the first account?

How can I solve this to publish the workflow by second account?

Answer 1

Switch account in Account Section is not mean you have signed in to SharePoint Designer site as a different user.

To log in as a different user for Sharepoint Designer do the following

1. Start SharePoint Designer as a Different User option, by holding the Shift key with right-click on the SharePoint Designer icon.

2. Sometimes the above option is not worked with SharePoint Designer so try to do the following

   • Open Internet Explorer.
   • Open Tools menu and go to Internet Options.
   • Select the Security Tab.
   • Select the Intranet Zone (Or your affected zone if your SharePoint site is not in your Intranet)
   • Click the button for Custom Level.
   • Find “User Authentication” in the list.
   • Set this option to “Prompt for Username and Password”.

   • Open SharePoint Designer > open your site, you should prompt now to enter your second account credential.

   • Save and publish your workflow you should see the last modified user is the current login user.
