Even though "user switching" might be a feature often used on legacy HMIs, WebIQ adheres to how it works on the web: you can login and logout, you cannot "switch" any user (just like you cannot "switch" a user on Facebook, Amazon etc. and have to logout and login again). The User Select widget can only be used as part of the user management and needs to be connected to the User Controller widget for that. All User widgets work together to allow you to incorporate HMI user management directly into your HMI. The second question cannot be answered given the information provided. Please note the differences between frontend (browser) and backend (WebIQ Server) locking/access rights. Using a lock condition in the HMI will lock the widget in the browser based on the condition. Using access groups and setting up the corresponding access group for the specific item that is connected to the input field locks the item in the backend. Please see https://docs.webiq.de/docs/webiq-designer-manual/#user for more information on how these permissions work.
