Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.36.4-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: chandru.in at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

There is no option in the status menu to switch to another user on the
system. There is no option to login as another user on the lock screen
either.

There are multiple non-system user accounts on the machine and I'm
logged into the laptop locally (not a remote connection). In such a
scenario, I expect an option to switch between users without having to
log out of the current user's session.
