Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Admin Log In As User

Admin Log In As User

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!

I've installed this, and the option to log in as someone else shows up on ACP, but not in their profile on the 'normal' forum as per the instructions.

I'm running Gold v4 PL1.

Anyone else suffering this problem?

Installed work 100% in vB 4.0 gold.
Thank you very much mate.

Installed on 4.00 Patch level 1 - can log in as user but when you click on text to log out as the user, nothing happens. Have to hit log out button and then log back in as myself.

This could be the best mod written so far. Thanks Abe.

Abel, can you explain what I need to do here? Once I see this Error, it auto disables the Mod.
I am using a Sytyle (Simple Black as default, would that make a difference, or there are 3 Admins but I only tried to give my self Permission and in config PhP I am the Only #1 and no added admins to the config.php. any Ideas?

I get this error when I give myself permission in the edit admin then save. and then the below error.
