<title>User Switching</title>

User switching is a method of running more than one session at a time on a <link xref="seat">seat</link> and switching between them.
Only one session can be used at a time.
The session is switched by contacting the display manager using D-Bus and calling the one of the following method on the Seat object:

<list>
<item>

SwitchToGreeter - A greeter session is started. This allows the user to authenticate for a new session or authenticate to return to their current session.

</item>
<item>

SwitchToUser - If there is a session for the given user then it is switched to, otherwise a greeter is started.

</item>
<item>

SwitchToGuest - If a guest session is active it is switched to, otherwise a guest session is started.

</item>
</list>

Switching is performed using virtual terminals in the kernel.
Each session has a separate display server and the selected session is activated by changing the active virtual terminal.
