Add-On Releases - Cyb - Login To User Account

Info:
This will allow forum administrators to simply login to user accounts (to test forum functions, permissions etc...). SuperAdmin can choose admins who are able to use this function. SuperAdmin can set also who can login to other admin accounts. "Login As User" is shown in member profiles and Quick User Links (can be disabled). Option is automatically hidden in your own account and if target user is admin while you have no permissions to login to admin accounts.

Great Add!! :up:

I have one Question.

(Perhaps Cybernetec or maybe Another User have solved this, and can Provide me some Orientation, Please!!:up

As SuperAdmin User ID 1 I'm entering the Admin Control Panel, and Accessing the "Set Admins" option of this Add; I'm trying to set other SuperAdmin Users to be able to Access the Other Accounts separate with commas, but I recetive the following Error Message: "You have no permissions to use this function!".

What Can I Do??

Is there another option I shall Activate to be able to "Set Admins"??

Thank You For Your Help. I've tried the Add with vb3.6.5 and works Ok, except for my previous question!!

I Send You My Best Regards!!

Cyb, after update, I can't log into another user's account. It says "Admin, You are currently using Unregistered's account. Click here to go back to your admin account." I don't have permission to post and it asks for a username and password when I try.

I uninstalled 1.7 as instructed before installing 1.8.

EDIT: Logging in to another user account via the AdminCP works perfectly though.

Re 'No Permission'.

I had to modify the code in the 'misc_start' hook for it to work.
Also without this change the buddy list feature does not work.

Not sure about policy of displaying modified code so will not unless Cybernetec says its OK.
No doubt an update will be out shortly anyhow.

Great plugin by the way.

What about the other "permissions" bugs? Are they fixed?

This is fixed, but I still can't log into other user accounts via the link in profiles. It only works via the AdminCP.

-"Last activity" not changed for target user when admin used account

Can you make this an option in the ACP instead of disabling it altogether?
