I use `system.perspective.getSessionInfo()` to create a list of current users for a certain project. I have noticed that if I have the project open in a designer, it will show up as "designer" in the `sessionScope` key, which is correct.

If I have the designer open, and I go to another plant location, somewhere along the way of dropping and reconnecting the network, the `sessionScope` no longer shows as "designer" but as "browser."

I just opened a support ticket on this. It’s a known bug (IGN-6238). Basically the change of network is screwing with things. Designer would need to be restarted after network change.
