There are MANY situations. A simple example--yesterday, a member said that he could not send PMs. I installed this hack to troubleshoot the error. Turned out that there was nothing wrong with the forum or his account. (I actually don't know why the problem occurred, but I was at least able to verify for myself that he could use the PM system.)

Basically, vBulletin, especially if you add hacks, has myriad combinations of permissions that make it difficult to know exactly what will happen on the users' side of things. With this hack, you can test various accounts to see whether they can use the various functions of the forum.
