Local cannot be running in another user account as it causes routing issues.
Steps to reproduce
Log in to one user A’s account on Mac, open Local and start a site. Keep site running and switch to user B’s account (as though user A has left the Mac to come back to later and user B needs to use it beforehand).
User B opens Local and starts a site, and can’t access the sites until user A has logged in and stopped all running sites and quit local.
It’s not ‘Local’ accounts (as in the local server app), it’s 2 user accounts on a Mac.
In my use-case, I am using my personal MacBook for work, and have a separate user account on the Mac for work purposes. It isn’t an issue for me as I just need to remember to close all running local sites and quit Local before switching to the other user account (if I forget, I am able to quickly switch back to the other account and quit local).
It becomes more of an issue where a Mac is used by multiple people (2 part-time Developers covering half a week each on the same machine). If User B doesn’t know the password to User A’s account and User A has left local sites running, User B is not able to start any local sites. The only way to resolve this is with a full system re-boot, and if User A has unsaved changes to documents, these may be lost.
If Local is running on User A’s account, and I log into User B and open a site I get this:
