I've got a NAS. I've got a Music folder on the NAS. I've shared it with SMB.

I've got two users on the NAS, an admin account with read and write, and a guest account with only read privileges.

I used Dolphin on a KDE box, I clicked Network > Shared Folders (SMB) > The_NAS > Music. It threw a login window, I logged in as the admin.

How the fuck do I log back out to switch to the guest account? I know SMB is Microsoft's doing so it's pure weapons-grade gonorrhea but...why is this extremely obvious usability feature missing?

So far, the For Dummies version is "turn NFS on for the shared folder in your NAS, then go to nfs://your-nas.local/path/to/shared/folder in your file manager.
