Hi! Is it ok to ask hardware questions here now that the ship date has arrived? Unclear from the beta forums if we're transitioning today.
Just a quick question - I can't figure out the best way to allow multiple sign ins on the device. I (maybe incorrectly) chose to use my organization credentials thinking that would be the best option when going through the initial sign in process, but it doesn't appear easy to add another users to the login screen or sign on using a domain, which is really what I'm wanting. Any advice here?

@pkisensee,
According to this section in the doc:Note: To remove the account used in initial setup from a HoloLens you will need to reset the device from Settings or use Windows Device Recovery Tool.
You can use Settings > Update > Reset > Reset Device to return the device to factory settings instead of doing a full reflash. It's a little faster, but will still wipe all previous user settings and applications from the device.

Would also like know if there is a way to allow multiple users on a device
Hi, we're working on adding information around user accounts to our developer documentation and will share more soon
Bump. V2
Still need to know how to sign out.
@danh and @jbills, we've just added a bunch documentation related to accounts on HoloLens here.
HoloLens only supports a single device account, but it is possible to save credentials for other accounts as "Linked accounts" similar Desktop. For a shared work device, you may want to consider setting it up with a generic account though.
The documentation doesn't address how to change the credentials. For instance, if I need to transfer my device to another developer, how do I set up a new account on the device? Is a reflash required?
