Samba login as different users

Hi Guys!

 

We are about to move from being mostly Mac-users at my company, to buying new windows 10 based laptops.

The issue i am having is with samba login.

 

In Macs file manager i have an option to switch which user i am logged in as on my samba share.

A little button that says "Connect as..."

 

This is a very important choice to have, as most of our users are only guest-accounts, and the IT-admins have user-accounts

to access software shares.

The guest users are students and are not supposed to have access to the software share.

 

The problem is that i cannot find a simple solution to this problem on windows. Linux and Mac work fine.

 

I know about the CMD solution to unmount with a command and then mount with another command.

This to me is an unnecessary complicated process, when i know that SHOULD be possible to just have the simple function.

 

I have googled and tested various file managers for windows, but no one had the function i am looking for.

 

Help me please!

 

Kind regards, Will
