Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When having openid setup it would be expected that each Budget would be able to set up their own simplefin account linking. Instead if you have multiple budgets/accounts each budget will be using the same simple fin token. This means that personal sharing info will be shared between users/budgets

How can we reproduce the issue?

How can we reproduce the issue?
Create multiple budgets and setup simplefin with one of the budgets. Each budget will be pidgeonholed into using that simplefin token.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome, Firefox, Desktop App (Electron)

Operating System

Linux

Now that Multi-User is out of experimental I have been thinking about this as well. When I added another user that user is not able to setup secrets. I am assuming this is still an in progress feature request.

Are separate users not able to use different SimpleFin accounts? Do I have to set up a separate server for that to happen?

Nope, multiple users still share the same SimpleFin account

Yeah, my instance is connected with Authentik, I created accounts for my kids but they are not able to have their own Simplefin integration.

I ended up cloning the LXC container and built a whole separate instance for my spouse. Was able to export their budget from the original and import into the new one. Pretty easy with OpenID, it was seamless for them, other than using a different URL.
