Description

As people might have multiple WebIDs, it should be easy to switch account if you're trying to access a resource that is not shared with your account A, but is with account B.

(If I'm misunderstanding how WebID handles this case, please let me know)

Research direction

The issue names no files, entry points, or tests.
