This GNOME Shell extension creates a menu in the top bar allowing to quickly access other user sessions, or login as another user. It provides a quicker way (less clicks) then regular GNOME.
Tested on Fedora 40
You need to create a Polkit rule to allow users switching between sessions.
Create the new policy:
sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-gnome-shell-activate-session.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.manage" ||
action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.chvt") &&
subject.isInGroup("wheel")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
This policy allows administrators who belong to wheel group use this plugin.
Restart polkit:
sudo systemctl restart polkit
Next, install this plugin in all users' GNOME environments.
