Admin Log In As User 3.10

About this hack:
This hack allows any admin that you set in admin permissions, to log in as any user. You have to go to the user's profile page and there will be a link to 'Log In As This User'. Also, there is a link the drop down menu in the ACP User Manager. If you are logged in as another user, you will get a message on top of the forum saying, 'You are currently logged in as another user. Click here to log back into your account.'

This hack is very easy to install. This hack has only the admin yes/no option. Just install and it's ready to be used!

Enjoy!

How can we change color of header in admin_log_in_as_user_header ??

is the only place where we can change them?

Thanks.

Two suggestions for updates:

1. On my board I gave access to a select few Moderators to use this function. However I would like to prevent them from acting as an admin or super moderator.

2. I'd like to see a log of some kind that lets me know who accessed the feature and who they logged in as.

the problem with giving people this ability, is you need to be careful because they may cause a problem with "defamation of character". but hey its up to you who you give this power.

After installed this mod, i have now a new thing that says "Last Activity: Today 04:53 AM" for every user, no matter if it's logged or not.. How can i remove that ? Or at least leave it only for Administrators ?

Interesting addon and just for my comprehension: What exactly does this addon do?

Are you able to use any account you wanna log in to 100% as it is, for example if you wanna check a moderator's account you can use his mod rights (it happens that some mods have more rights regarding the forum hence the name administrator

), and can you also read the user's PMs?

I am used to phpbb 3 and there seems to be a similar feature thought it only transfers user's rights so that you cannot corrupt the user's privacy.

Thank you in advance!
