JumpD and I have reported different issues. In my case, I can log out account B, and then log back in as account A, and still have full access to account B by the Quick Account Switch menu. It doesn't ask me for account B's password ever again. I am not sure if that's intended behavior by your hack or not.
Yes, that is intended behavior. Quick switch = no password required to switch into linked accounts.

I don't want anyone else to be able to use this but myself. Like you said, linking to another's account could cause problems. This way I never have to worry about disgruntled staff or anything like that.
Don't allow anyone but yourself to edit users. Or do you want a separate permission for this?

Ahh, then that would be the SuperAdmin only anyway, right?
No, non-superadmins also 'canadministerusers' if you enable their permission to do so.

Any thought on the CMPS issue?
Please do have some patience.

Sorry to be so basic....

So, as a SuperAdmin I can link my primary account to my test account and then swich accounts without th eneed to log in again... When that switch is done my test account will have the permissions based on the group settings it belongs to. I can then switch back to the Admin group and continue working...

I love the idea at least for my development board... I'll have to try it tonight.

And so with this hack, they can request to be "linked" and then they can more easily switch back and forth between the two accounts.
It seems to me that on large boards, it would be more advanteous to allow the users to link themselves.

I think that might cause some problems, however...

Ok, I would like to put in a feature request. Whenever I am logged in as one user, and switch to another - it says both users are logged on, but only will show the one you are currently logged in as in the WOL. Is there a way to at least show the previous user you were logged in as in the WOL until the typical WOL time-out?

That would be insecure though.

No, multiple sessions per same system may cause problems.

I don't see a security issue here at all. If the user had to have the username and password prior to adding the "quick switch" account, then where is the security hole? That is no different amount of security problems as logging out the then back in as another user.

I fail to see the problem.

The problem would be in setting up the link. Unless it's done the way you make friends on myspace (request-accept/decline) - it would be an issue.

That is why I suggested you allow the user to do it him/herself and require the account login and password before letting it happen. This would prove that this person is the owner of the account in question. I still do not see a real use for this (at least for me) unless the users can do it all on their own. Otherwise, it is just way too much work for an admin to do for all the users I have on my site.

This will make testing mods and permissions so much easier... It was on my development board for less then 5-minues before I installed on my main board... THANK YOU! :banana:

Quarterbore 05-09-2006 11:55 AM
Oops... sorry reported something that was already known... I still love the hack!
