Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Admin Log In As User

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!

Just what I need... Thanks a bunch... Installed (super easy) and works perfect...

And just my 2cents regarding the question of morals etc... This tool doesn't create NEW access, it just makes EXISTING access easier. The Trust Factor has always been there between Admins and Members... They aren't ignorant.. they know you have the ability to do what you want on you own site. They trust you not to abuse that power. Does this modification force you to suddenly start abusing that power? No... Does it make it easier for you to do just that? Sure... If you are weak-willed enough that you feel you cannot help but nose around in your members' accounts once you have this Modification installed, by all means... do not install it... However, if you intentions have not changed, and you remain loyal to your members... This can be a very useful tool.

I just had a member email me their login information (including password) with hopes of gaining help with their account. I am flattered that they trust me enough with their password (or maybe they just assume I have access to it already) but none-the-less it makes me uncomfortable. And this same thing has happened in the past. Or worst... I get email from a member asking me to login to their account for whatever reason and although it's possible, I dread the work... And it's time like these, I am grateful for this Modification...

Thanks again, Bree

Tried to install on a newly updated VB 3.7 and I get this error.

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

* Bitfield Collision: prefixrequired = credits_cantearn

Ah, fixed it
Nevermind :P

What was it?

[Deimos]

Old bitfield files in the XML folder
Removed them all and it worked fine.

Great mod, another great tool for admin...installed :up:

I upgraded to 3.7 and upgraded this mod. Great job once again.

Will there be a quicklink from the user's profile to log in as them instead of having to go through the admincp?
