2. Click on the user in the top right corner.
3. Click "API Help Center", which opens a new window.
4. Click "Automation APIs"
5. Execute any of the APIs within the "Automation APIs" section.
6. Navigate back to the original tenant portal window.
7. Navigate to pages such as "Build & Deploy -> VM Images" and observe a login window appearing within the tenant portal, despite being logged in still (check the top right corner of the page).
