Allow quick changing of profiles from mobile app

Users should be able to switch between multiple profiles on the mobile app. Admin users should be able to change the profile of any endpoint.

Admin

You can do all of this from the mobile web interface in 3-4 clicks.

3-4 clicks is not representative of real-world use.

By the time users open the browser, pull up the Control-D dashboard URL, authenticate (plus biometric checks from password manager), change to the authenticator app and find the Control-D entry, copy the authentication code, go back to the browser, paste the authenticator code, change to the Endpoints area, select edit, click the profile dropdown, select the new profile, and click save, there have been quite a few more clicks than 3 or 4.

This process can be streamlined somewhat by using a shortcut URL directly to the Endpoints page and further reduced if bypassing security practices and staying perpetually logged in but there are still more than 4 real-world steps and considerably more steps than if Control-D's app would provide this functionality as a deep link shortcut or as an Android quick setting tile facilitating frequent quick toggling between profiles.
