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!

This mod is a must-have for me, and glad to see it's still around and kicking. Many of my users aren't that tech-savvy, and just doing things for them is easier than playing a couple of rounds of "Who's on First?" is a real timesaver. Thanks Abe1

1. Import the product file via the product manager in your AdminCP.
2. Done!

Thanks! Works great in 4.1.12 patch level 1.

Works for me in 4.1.12 also with those modifications to the XML file.

Will someone educated in PHP PLEASE undertake the updating of this mod, because many of us have computer challenged users that we need to help and this mod is awesome for that!

Thanks a million!!

Unless Abe1 gives his permission to update the mod or take it over, you're out of luck, sorry.

He hasn't been on in two years.

Someone can rewrite it, based on what he did.

I have another question:

My moderators would like to use this to help people (our users are not very computer literate), is there a way to modify the code to allow MODERATORS and SUPER MODERATORS to have this capability as well?

In that case I'm requesting the mods at this forum to allow someone else to continue development of this great plugin ... I'd hate to see it die because the original developer lost interest.

@Mods: Is it possible for someone else to be assigned as the developer to this mod (or do they have to start a new thread and post a new mod) ?

+1 on that, and I ask the new developer to allow it to be used by super mods and mods as well as admins- it is a very handy little utility.

You cannot just allow someone else - the original author has copyright on the code, no one else can use it without their permission.

This is not the only mod, Valter has a mod on here similar to this one.
