SevosIO: Session Switcher

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.

Installation

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.
