Can I use another trading application (IBKR Mobile, Client Portal, TWS) while an API program is connected?

IBKR does not allow a single user name to operate multiple sessions concurrently. Operating multiple trading applications for a given account simultaneously requires a separate user name (for information on adding another user, see: Can I create a second user name for my account?).

While there is no charge to request an additional user name, vendor rules prohibit the sharing of market data by distinct users (whether the same individual or not), thereby requiring a separate subscription for any live price feeds that additional user desires.

Can multiple users on the same account share the same market data subscription?
How can I practice with the TWS?
What options are available for 3rd party applications that aren't compatible with IBKR's linked account structure?
