The following is a survey of Google login urls (because I couldn't find it documented). I'm trying to find the best way to point people to a particular service with a particular account, minimizing possible multi-account confusion.
There is no one answer, but here are some recommendations:
- https://drive.google.com/a/domain
accounts.gooogle.com
Perhaps the best:
https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser?continue=targetURL
| url | Accounts logged in | notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| none | one | both | ||
| https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLogin | standard blank login | Password prompt (with option to "Sign in with a different account") | Password prompt, for account logged in longest | From any Google service, is the url forwarded to or provided by the "Sign in" button. |
| https://accounts.google.com/AccountChooser | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | "Choose an account" dialog, with account listed and "Add account" option | "Choose an account" dialog, with accounts listed and "Add account" option | Target of standard login page "Sign in with a different account" option |
| https://accounts.google.com/AddSession | Forwards to "ServiceLogin" | standard blank login | standard blank login | Target of "Add account" option on standard "AccountChooser" page |
To go to a particular Google service after loggin in, just add the "continue" parameter with a url encoded target url.
Google Apps
Summary: Behavior is variable
Can we gain usability be using Google App urls? Google App urls are often Google service urls with "/a/domain" after the domain (e.g. https://drive.google.com/a/sagamorehillspta.org). What's a survey of those look like?
| url | Accounts logged in | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| none | other | both | |
| https://admin.google.com/a/domain | Regular login | AccountChooser | Admin for domain |
| https://drive.google.com/a/domain | Domain login | Old style account chooser (https://www.google.com/a/SelectSession)
|
Drive for domain |
| https://groups.google.com/a/domain | Groups for domain (though not branded) | Groups for domain | Groups for domain, but with practically random account |
The following don't work:
- www and naked forward to admin
- accounts forwards to Apps marketing page
