If this is functionality not currently available, might be best placed to submit this as an Idea?

In terms of Automation apps https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407439980813-Getting-Started-with-Automation-Apps I believe they have a get a token and you can restrict which users/roles can access… in other words, who can use their flow credentials to open the app. There doesn’t appear to be any use case yet for logging out of an authenticated flow app.

 

Expiration: FME Flow generates a token that is used to authenticate the Automation app. The token automatically has the necessary permissions required for the user to run the application. You can set the expiration date for the security token of the app. After the token expires, the Automation app will no longer run. The default expiration is 10 years from the current date.

Allowed Users: All Automation apps require the creator to specify which users are allowed access to run the application. When a user goes to the FME Flow Automation app URL, they will need to log in to FME Flow first prior to seeing the run app page. Access to the app is restricted to authorized FME Flow Users who belong to the specified Roles.

I’m not sure how much of a real world use case there is.

My use case is I’m testing something and I found myself needing to log in as me and then log out and log in as admin (and repeat). I’ve just accessed the app from two different locations instead, negating the need to log in and out. I was just curious if it was something that was possible.

Off the back of what ​@j.botterill  has said, there are also two different tokens, a session token (obtained by logging in) and then an API token. The latter you can control the permissions etc and is created when you publicly share a webapp

From my very limited and quick look, it looks like the session token is used first.
