Pros:

Not exposing MUT.

Cons:

Storing large redundant data in session.

Solution 2:

...

Pros:

Token not being exposed in frontend.
Session data does not have redundant data

Cons:

Extra API call to LMS service (user/search)

Solution 3 :

...

Pros:

Only MUT stored in session.
Verification of request before switching of user addes extra security to existing swtich user flow.

...

Exposing MUT token into front. Any one can see it and intercepts it and use it furthur.

Solution 4 :

User Read API can be modified to send user token.
