Project: Simply Switchable

[fmitchell-r7]

The current workflow for using Awsaml v1.1.0 with two AWS accounts is:

• Open Awsaml
• Input metadata URL for first account
• Do work in first account
• Close Awsaml
• Open Awsaml
• Input metadata URL for second account
• Do work in second account
• Close Awsaml

This isn't a nice flow and doesn't scale as you add more accounts. Awsaml should have user friendly support for multiple accounts.

To start, we could allow people to name their metadata URLs and have some kind of button on drop down menu for switching. We'd need UI around managing metadata URLs e.g. add new, remove existing, edit existing. Here's a plan for how that can happen; the goal here is to provide incrementally useful functionality.

1. Add a "Log Out" button to the refresh page (see #48)
2. Add a "Recent Logins" list to the configuration page (see #49)

Longer term, we could support maintaining tokens for multiple accounts simultaneously. That longer term bit might be easier if we complete the "RESTful Refactor" project first.

Issues related to this project are filed under the "simply-switchable" milestone.
