This is so cool, Thanks

Pretty cool indeed.

Does anyone have the ability to link names, or is it reserved so that only admins can link peoples names?

[Tralala]

Awesome. I can already see how helpful this will be. THANK YOU.

Only administrator with 'canadministerusers' permission can link/unlink accounts from admincp.

Nice hack, once i change from admin account to another it then only gives me the option to go back to admin account even though i have linked 4 accounts.
Is this how it should work or should i be able to go from one account to any other account.

[akanevsky]

Of course.. Each link only links two accounts, chains are not supported.
