Please describe your bug

The admin is able to access their user's quick connect function in their respective personal options, but using it connects the admin's account instead of the user's

Being able to quick connect me less technically-minded friends was a feature I was looking forward to in my switch to Jellyfin, so hopefully this can be fixed soon!
