Enable user to switch between secure/unsecure experience of the same embedded web chat

This request is to enable a user to switch back and forth between the secured and unsecured embedded web chat experience.

Essentially, this would enable the user to utilize the web chat in an anonymous manner at first, and then they could have the ability to sign in, which would enable the secured version of the web chat.

Then, they could sign out and return to the anonymous version. This would occur all within the same embedded web chat.

They would not be redirected to a different URL containing a separate embedding—this experience all could be achieved OOTB via one embedded web chat instance.

    @Guest can you refresh my memory on the use case again please? I think students use the assistants to begin with in an anonymous manner - for routine use cases like chatting, QnA etc. At what point in the user flow would they need to login to the assistant though? Can you share some sample actions the students are expected to take once they're logged in?
