Description
I don't know if this would be possible, or desirable in general, but it would be useful for us when we find a way to link to pages in BASE logged in as a guest user to allow the user to switch to their own account if desired (staying on the same page). I will discuss this in more detail here http://neuron.cse.nd.edu/vectorbase/index.php/ExpressionSummaryConsultation (working on this now). Thanks, Bob.

Replying to nicklas:
That was how it worked at first. Then we got into problems if the new user account didn't have access to the current page. This led to a PermissionDeniedException which led to a dead end. From there it was no longer possible to go to any page at all. I guess there are ways to solve this problem, but we choose the easy way out. One possible solution is to have an option in the "Switch user" dialog where the user can select if it wants to stay on the same page or be redirected to the home page.
that sounds like the most sensible and economical solution!
