Title pretty much asks the question.

Clearly the access app is inheriting the permissions as if there are not already permissions accessible to it, you get a web page popup in your default browser with a logon to office 365.  Once that is successful, Access apparently inherits or grabs it or whatever.

Thanks for your help.

Sure, no reason it wouldn't be possible. If you're referring to SharePoint Online, then what you would need to do is open one copy of IE in normal mode, and the other in In Private mode. You can also do this with Chrome, but Chrome has the ability to have multiple 'profiles', which I use for this very reason.

Very helpful, thanks.

My specific situation is where one person would use Sharepoint apps in a traditional web centric mode.  The 2nd connection would be for an Access app that connects via Sharepoint access services.

Any further advice?

Are we talking about SharePoint Apps (now "Addins") or just regular SharePoint (document libraries, lists)? And where does this Access app reside? Same domain or different domain? Is this also SharePoint Online, or on-prem?

One usage is just a Sharepoint app with doc sharing etc; standard Sharepoint stuff.

The other is an Access 2010 database uploaded to Sharepoint via Access and Sharepoint Access services.  the data converts to sharepoint lists.  The queries, forms, reports, etc are downloadable and create a relatively normal Access FE however the tables are really locally cached and linked to the lists in Sharepoint.  A login is required for access to sharepoint for the data syncing which is automatic.

Both are Office 365 just different licenses that cannot reasonably be combined.

In that case, I would _personally_ use Chrome with Chrome profiles. Only challenge is if the Access (download) is linked to the particular O365 subscription for the 'standard' SharePoint usage as it would inherit that credential.
