Arbiter sets layers as read-only when switching users in some limited connectivity scenarios #98

In some conditions, switching a user can cause the layers to become read-only for that user. This occurs when the app is able to verify the user account to finish updating the user but it doesn't get the full schema or finish synching. The most likely scenario is there is connectivity but it's very limited (poor WiFi or cell). The user will find the layers are read-only.

The way to get out of this scenario

If the previous user had data that they didn't sync prior to switching users, you probably have to switch back and sync. I'm not sure but the app may need to updated to toss any edits that aren't synced if you switch users.
