Remove the change-to option and allow switch-back only

any reasons for that?

I'm not Felix, but it's imo an improvement in UX. You can easily get confused by both buttons.

Besided that, I never had the case that I su'd and never wanted to go back to the original session.

Yeah, but maybe improve the UI there then, hide it by default or whatever.

This does not mean nobody had a usecase for this. I use "switch back" 99% of the time, but the 1% of the time the other option comes in handy

Anyway if Felix thinks removal is a must have, well then I will live with it …

User guidance in backend user module with two options is complicated. These two available options have never been distinguished enough (red/blue, "change-to"/"switch-back") - I always had to wait for the help window.

I agree.

I see no good solution to explain two options better;

Well, it shouldn't be too hard to just use a different icon, should it?

we should focus on one, on the better solution.
When reducing the complexity one option needs to be removed.

That is of course the easiest way to resolve this.

The only difference after switching to a user with switch-to or switch-back is the layout is the bold red notice in the topbar - that should be changed also in my opinion afterwards.

Changed in what way? It still must be visible, that I'm currently acting as a different user.

Contra:
+ No possibility to switch from admin to "normal" user and leave the computer for another un-privileged user (<5% of use-cases)

In come to the conclusion that one option needs to be removed and that option should be switch-to.
Please feedback and help me understand the possible contras :) Thanks!

I agree that there are very few use cases for the "switch to" and since you have more of a global picture of the result, I trust you in that decision.

Go ahead!
