[Q] Multi-User access app permission? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy, I am wondering is there any setting that I wanted allow 2nd account access the app. I mean Owner and 2nd account under multi-user which is I wanted the Owner account allows 2nd account access my app to run.
E.g. I work for Amazon and the app installed under Owner account when I created 2nd account then it seems cannot see (Owner account) Amazon app on 2nd account. How do I allow Owner's Amazon app to 2nd account access. Similar App Share something.
Anyone know how fix this issue?

Switch to Prime account on Kindle Fire?

I am the Primary account on my family Prime account. My wife is the secondary user. We have a $39.99 full plan after upgrading from my Student plan.
My wife has a Kindle Fire and would like to use the lending library and the free Prime videos, but can't as the "secondary" user. I don't have a Kindle and don't really need anything but the free shipping.
Is there anyway for her to easily add my Prime account as a second account on her Kindle so that she can just sign into it for books and videos? She has her own Amazon account and downloads apps and whatnot, so doesn't really want to use my account exclusively. And we can't cancel my account and subscribe on her, cause then we wouldn't get Prime for $39.99.
Is there an app or walkthrough to switch accounts?
You should actually be able to just share Prime access with her. That's what my girlfriend and I did with my account (similar set up that you had, I still had to invite her). I sent her an invite to share prime and it just asked her for my name and d.o.b. I believe...
Log into your Amazon account go to account settings, manage settings, Prime settings.
Put your wifes email addresses that matches her Amazon account email in the invitation form and send the invite.
Have her confirm the invite on a computer, if I remember correctly the invited person needs to confirm it after logging into their account.
Unless you've done all that at which point IGNORE ME!

Well, even if you share Prime... you are only sharing the free shipping. You can't share the things like lending library and free Prime videos.

Changing Google Play Account on Kindle Fire

I just spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out what turned out to be a simple answer. Not having found the answer anywhere online, I'll post it here in case someone else is going through the same thing.
I rooted my son's Kindle Fire with KFU (thanks to everyone who has contributed scripts & helpful postings on that topic), launched Google Play and made a mistake by logging in under his older google account. Although the Google help claimed I should be able to switch to any account currently in use on the device simply by going to menu | accounts under Google Play, it was failing to recognize his other account, which was in use for email, and Google Play wouldn't let me configure an additional account.
The key: The account must be in use in another *Google* application (seems obvious in hindsight). If email is only set up with the original Kindle email app, the google system doesn't see it, and only some of the google apps have the "add account" function.
Solution: Use Google Play under the "wrong" account to download the free GMail app. Setup GMail with the "right" account. Return to Google Play. Menu | Accounts | select the newly set up account and you're good to go.
You should have been able to add another account under settings / accounts & sync / add account / Google.

on stock there shoudl be an app called "Account and Sync Settings" or something to that effect, you'll need to add the new Account.
then when you log into the market you can go to settings and account and select the other as the default account..
BUT: This isn't always 100% I've had issues where where it occasionally reverts back to the initial account.
Google really makes it a PITA when this happens.. I wiped my phone and did this exact thing, and it felt like it was pretty much a pain.
Works Great

Thanks a lot for the solution. Gmail was the key to adding another account. Once I created the Gmail account for the new corrected account, I was able to choose that profile in other parts of Google (like Play Games) on the Fire.
Then, how do you delete the wrong account ?
Thank you so much !
I am using a Fire HD 10 (2017) and my wife accidentely added her Google account below my profile. Since the stock version does not provide "Account and Sync" below settings: how can I remove a Google account from my profile? Removing the account from the device using another device does now work since the device always tries to re-authenticate the removed account. This is driving me insane. As a bonus the Gmail app crashes since then...

Is it risky to enter gmail password in 3rd party app

Hello, some apps such as Trello, Wrike, Project Planning, etc., require the user to enter their gmail userid and password within these app. Is it risky to do it? I don't know if such 3rd party developer could access such info as they are entered from the app.
Once they get your username and password they can do anything you can do in Gmail. They could read all of your emails and maybe even send out spam using your ID. I never give out that kind of info to anyone or app.
I agree. It's one thing if the application requests access through Google's own API whereby you are redirected to a Google login but it's another to have to enter in your login information into a 3rd party app.
I use 2-factor authentication and keep track of what applications I give access to. It's helpful to do so so that one can be made aware immediately if an unauthorized login occurs.

Thanks. I just go a strange event called "Analogy game" on my google calendar. Don't recall entering that event. Scary! I changed my password immediately. Is that OK from now on?
Luckily Google is very helpful when it comes to security.
Here you can view every device that has accessed your account in the last 28 days. Useful to see if anyone's logged in to your account without your knowledge:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1 Click on the device and hit remove to revoke access.
And here you can see which permissions every app and device has, and what they're allowed to do:
https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions
Click on one and hit Revoke Access on the right to revoke their access to your account. (Also useful for old or missing devices) “access to basic account info” means you've logged in to the device using your Google ID.
Logging into an app via the Google Framework login (The official Google login page) grants the app access to exactly what it says on the screen when you log in. If an app says 'Basic Info', all it gets is your public Google+ profile and your email adress. (Not your inbox.) If an app says it syncs data, that's what it'll do.
Apps which display your activity, emails, calendar items etcetera require a sync between your account and the app. This means that yes, the app can see all your emails. That's the price you pay for using an app like that.
A quick lookup of Trello lists it as both an Editor's Choice and a Top Developer in Google Play. That should be safe.
Wrike only has about 1700 users. I'm not so optimistic about that one.
Not all 3rd party apps are evil. K9 mail requires your Gmail account because it's an email app and it's perfectly safe.

New account and kodi access

My friend has asked me to put kodi on his firestick for him but he hasnt set up an Amazon account yet. I have installed kodi using my amazon account then deactivated my account. To test I used my dad's account to see if kodi was in the apps menu but it wasn't.I had to go to manage applications to get to it. [/size] Is there any way to easily open kodi when a new account is added?

google account not deleted

Wonder if anyone has any thoughts on this ?:
I added an additional google account to my phone to access some google drive files. i then deleted the account in the normal way and it does not show it as you would expect. However today i used my PC to change the password of that account and I got a notification of this password change on my phone.
I rechecked and the account is not listed.
