What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Initiate the OAuth2 flow What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I expect to be able to choose what user I would like to sign in with, like in the regular flow, but it redirects to use the first account I am signed into. Please provide any additional information below.

@gengkev
Same here. I use three google accounts. It 'bypasses' regular flow and selects the default account, without enabling me to choose.

You can ask for a specific gapps domain by passing an "hd" parameter to OAuth with the name of the gapps domain you want to authorize against. On my app I actually prefer this method as it's more streamlined for my users.

Got from: https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth (Should this be on OAuth 2.0 docs, since it works? I couldn't find it there.

Example:
api.auth.authorize({client_id: clientid, scope: scopes, immediate: false, hd : "yourdomain.com"},callback);

I keep forgetting to reply, and more recently I couldn't log into Google Code (?) but that really helped a lot, thanks!

I'm guessing it's some legacy parameter that works just because.

Multi-login is not supported by the JS Client. It chooses the primary or user 0 by default. We have logged a request for multi-login support.

Yo can add the parameter authuser with nothing value.

gapi.auth.authorize({client_id: googleDrive.CLIENT_ID,
scope: googleDrive.SCOPES,
immediate: (isImmediate) ? true : false,
authuser:""

Switching kind of works for me now: you can select the user in the top-right in the authorization prompt.

Switching is not working for me.

In the Account Chooser popup, when I pick a different account a new TAB is open in the original window (leaving the popup open). When I provide authorization by clicking "Allow" in the new TAB the TAB title says "Connecting" and it never goes back to the original TAB that triggered the popup in the first place.

Is this expected behaviour? Should I open a new issue for this situation?
Thanks

Oops, didn't even test that. Silly me, you're right, it doesn't work.

How can this be priority medium?
Developers have no control over how many Google accounts their customers use. Therefore the library is effectively unusable for the majority of situations. afaik, this show-stopping restriction is not even documented anywhere.

We had a discussion on this at SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13366254/how-do-i-get-a-prompt-for-which-google-account-to-use-when-using-the-js-client-l we tried everything suggested, we can't get it to work for anything but the current default user.
