Switch user button - where?

Hi!

I would like to ask where I can find the switch user button?

I use Fedora 34 (with Plasma) 5.21

Thanks for reply!

The "Switch user" option only shows if you have actually set up a second user on the system. Works fine here

Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

This was the solution given on that link.

The switch user functionality has been broken for some time and it was disabled in Fedora 34, see the blocker bug for details.

You can re-enable it by editing /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kdeglobals and removing/commenting out the [KDE Action Restrictions] section.

# HOW: https://develop.kde.org/deploy/kiosk/introduction/
# WHY: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1929643
[KDE Action Restrictions]
action/start_new_session=false
action/switch_user=false


Note, this did not work for me. This solution was also offered in other distros using KDE, which also did not work.
