Somebody may correctly, but I believe this was intentional.
In LiveCD, in Ubuntu we should not offer logout / switch user functionality.

Title:
Live user is hidden in Lightdm / "User Accounts" settings (due to uid
999)
Status in “casper” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
If user logs out in Live session then he can't login, because Live user is
hidden in Lightdm login screen in Ubuntu Live session.
Also "User Accounts" settings don't work in Ubuntu 12.04 when running from
LiveUSB/LiveCD, it's always reproducible:
- click on "User Account" icon in "System Settings" window and you get
"User Accounts" window with all widgets disabled - nothing happens when I click
on "My Account" or "Other Accounts" at the left :( I'm attaching a screenshot
of not working "User Accounts" window.
This bug is very easy to fix -/etc/login.defs->UID_MIN should be set 999 in
Live session, because casper script /scripts/casper-bottom/25adduser adds live
user with uid=999 and Accounts Service daemon excludes users with uid lower
than UID_MIN from /etc/login.defs (see daemon_local_user_is_excluded function
in accountsservice sources)
Please, improve /scripts/casper-bottom/25adduser script to set UID_MIN to 999
in /etc/login.defs file.
