Hi, My response to your email bounced. So I'm posting it here:
I see what the issue is here, and unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done in this case. If you have an account that is a Google Apps account, App Engine will always treat this account as a Google Apps account even if it is also a Google Account. If you set your app authentication to Google Accounts, however, your application (this does not apply to the Admin Console) can only authenticate against a Google Account. Thus you can not authenticate an admin in your application if it is a Google Apps account, and is_current_user_admin() will not work. We try to explain these ideas in this article: http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/auth.html The bottom line is, if you wish to sign in as an admin in your application, you will need an account that is _only_ a Google Account to use for this purpose. Hope this makes sense, Marzia On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 4:45 PM, Marzia Niccolai <ma...@google.com> wrote: > Hi, > > If you reply to me with the email addresses and app id I can further > investigate the issue. > > It is important, in general, that you not be logged in to a Google Account > and Google Apps account at the same time when accepting an invitation to > develop. > > -Marzia > > > On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 8:10 PM, Scumbag > <markstead.and.fam...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> >> I've got a Google App Engine application which is using Google >> Accounts for authentication. >> >> The application was created by a Google Apps user.
