New Account Awareness and Multiple Sign-in Issue

[Steve Webster]

Any Googlers want to comment if this blog, "Improving active account awareness when opening files with multiple sign-ins", will help reduce the Bug Tracker issue, "Unexpected "authorization is required" error from google.script.run after installing Sheets add-on while logged into multiple gmail.com accounts"?

[Romain Vialard]

That might actually worsen the problem.

People will see a clear notification from Google that they are opening the spreadsheet with the proper account. Yet, the dialog powered by Apps Script inside this spreadsheet will run with another account (or won't run because lack of authorization).

That's very bad. Google isnt taking any action on this. Eric informed us once that he had put this issue to Engineering team.

It's good to know about this new feature.  It could certainly make the user more aware of which document is being used with which account.  I don't think it will explain to the user why they are getting the authorization error.  My first impression is, that it's not really a fix for the problem, and doesn't provide any built-in way for the developer to inform the user about what the problem is.
