Can't admin application from Snapcraft account

The Polarr Photo Editor (polarr) snap is owned by info@polarr.co but when I log in with that account and go to https://snapcraft.io/account/snaps, the polarr snap is not listed there. Several months ago I shared the polarr snap with a couple accounts in the organization. When I log in with one of those accounts, the polarr snap is listed on https://snapcraft.io/account/snaps and it says it’s owned by info@polarr.co.

  1. Where are the sharing settings? I used the page before to share administration of the snap to a couple accounts in the company but I can’t find the page now.
  2. Why can’t info@polarr.co access the snap that it owns, but another account in the organization can access the snap and see that it’s owned by info@polarr.co?

Hello,

The site at https://snapcraft.io aggregates information from the snap store API and uses a new nice codebase to build the information it displays, and it’s somewhat weird that it says the snap is owned by info@polarr.co, as I’ll explain in a moment.

To answer your questions and hopefully unblock you:

You probably did this on the developer dashboard, at https://dashboard.snapcraft.io. I checked and indeed the snap was shared with two accounts, one of which hasn’t accepted the share apparently.

The very odd part here is this:

because it’s not; info@polarr.co has no snaps. The snap is owned by the polarrco account, which has support@polarr.co as its email (apologies for posting email addresses, but the latter one is public per snap info polarrco anyway.

So this explains “Why can’t info@polarr.co access the snap that it owns” - it doesn’t, that’s support@polarr.co (incidentally that’s the account you’d have to use to log into dashboard.snapcraft.io).

To sum up:

And we can take it from there.

Thanks @roadmr, that pretty much answers my questions. I think I mixed up the account names for info@polarr.co and support@polarr.co because I had multiple browser windows opened.

It would be nice if there was some way to switch accounts on snapcraft.io like I can with Google OAuth. When I sign in to an account then sign out, next time I click sign in I’m automatically signed in to the same account and don’t have the option to select a different email address. I ended up using incognito windows to sign into a second account.

You can do it in this (convoluted) way:

Most OpenID consumers/servers I’ve worked with do it this way: unless you log out of the identity provider, things are remembered even if you log out of the service provider. Note this uses OpenID 2.0-ish, not OpenID Connect which works on top of OAuth.

Cheers!
