switch off mean does this plugin work with wordpress multisite does this plugin work with buddypress does this plugin work with bbpress does this plugin work with woocommerce does this plugin work if my site is using a two factor authentication plugin what capability does a user need in order to switch accounts can the ability to switch accounts be granted to other users or roles can the ability to switch accounts be denied from users can i add a custom switch to link to my own plugin or theme can i determine whether the current user switched into their account does this plugin allow a user to frame another user for an action can regular admins on multisite installations switch accounts can i switch users directly from the admin toolbar are any plugin actions called when a user switches account do you accept donations readme md user switching stable tag 1 5 8 requires at least 3 7 tested up to 5 9 requires php 5 3 license gpl v2 or later tags users profiles user switching fast user switching multisite buddypress bbpress become user management developer contributors johnbillion donate link https github com sponsors johnbillion instant switching between user accounts in wordpress description this plugin allows you to quickly swap between user accounts in wordpress at the click of a button you ll be instantly logged out and logged in as your desired user this is handy for test environments where you regularly log out and in between different accounts or for administrators who need to switch between multiple accounts features switch user instantly switch to any user account from the users screen switch back instantly switch back to your originating account switch off log out of your account but retain the ability to instantly switch back in again switching between users is secure see the security section below compatible with wordpress wordpress multisite woocommerce buddypress bbpress and most two factor authentication plugins security only users with the ability to edit other users can switch user accounts by default this is only administrators on single site installations and super admins on multisite installations passwords are not and cannot be revealed uses the cookie authentication system in wordpress when remembering the account s you ve switched from and when switching back implements the nonce security system in wordpress meaning only those who intend to switch users can switch full support for user session validation where appropriate full support for administration over ssl if applicable usage visit the users menu in wordpress and you ll see a switch to link in the list of action links for each user click this and you will immediately switch into that user account you can switch back to your originating account via the switch back link on each dashboard screen or in your profile menu in the wordpress toolbar see the faq for information about the switch off feature other plugins i maintain several other plugins for developers check them out query monitor is the developer tools panel for wordpress wp crontrol lets you view and control what s happening in the wp cron system privacy statement user switching makes use of browser cookies in order to allow users to switch to another account its cookies operate using the same mechanism as the authentication cookies in wordpress core therefore their values contain the user s user_login field in plain text which should be treated as potentially personally identifiable information the names of the cookies are wordpress_user_sw_ cookiehash wordpress_user_sw_secure_ cookiehash wordpress_user_sw_olduser_ cookiehash user switching does not send data to any third party nor does it include any third party resources nor will it ever do so see also the faq for some questions relating to privacy and safety when switching between users ethical open source user switching is considered ethical open source because it meets all of the criteria of the ethical source definition esd it benefits the commons it is created in the open its community is welcoming and just it puts accessibility first it prioritizes user safety it protects user privacy it encourages fair compensation screenshots the switch to link on the users screen the switch to link on a user s profile frequently asked questions does this plugin work with php 8 yes it s actively tested and working up to php 8 1 what does switch off mean switching off logs you out of your account but retains your user id in an authentication cookie so you can switch straight back without having to log in again manually it s akin to switching to no user and being able to switch back the switch off link can be found in your profile menu in the wordpress toolbar once you ve switched off you ll see a switch back link on the log in screen and in the footer of your site does this plugin work with wordpress multisite yes and you ll also be able to switch users from the users screen in network admin does this plugin work with buddypress yes and you ll also be able to switch users from member profile screens and the member listing screen does this plugin work with bbpress yes and you ll also be able to switch users from member profile screens does this plugin work with woocommerce yes for maximum compatibility you should use woocommerce version 3 6 or later does this plugin work if my site is using a two factor authentication plugin yes mostly one exception i m aware of is duo security if you re using this plugin you should install the user switching for duo security add on plugin which will prevent the two factor authentication prompt from appearing when you switch between users what capability does a user need in order to switch accounts a user needs the edit_users capability in order to switch user accounts by default only administrators have this capability and with multisite enabled only super admins have this capability can the ability to switch accounts be granted to other users or roles yes the switch_users meta capability can be explicitly granted to a user or a role to allow them to switch users regardless of whether or not they have the edit_users capability for practical purposes the user or role will also need the list_users capability so they can access the users menu in the wordpress admin area can the ability to switch accounts be denied from users yes user capabilities in wordpress can be set to false to deny them from a user denying the switch_users capability prevents the user from switching users even if they have the edit_users capability add_filter user_has_cap function allcaps caps args user if switch_to_user args 0 if my_condition allcaps switch_users false return allcaps 9 4 note that this needs to happen before user switching s own capability filtering hence the priority of 9 can i add a custom switch to link to my own plugin or theme yes use the user_switching maybe_switch_url method for this it takes care of authentication and returns a nonce protected url for the current user to switch into the provided user account if method_exists user_switching maybe_switch_url url user_switching maybe_switch_url target_user if url printf a href 1 s switch to 2 s a esc_url url esc_html target_user display_name this link also works for switching back to the original user but if you want an explicit link for this you can use the following code if method_exists user_switching get_old_user old_user user_switching get_old_user if old_user printf a href 1 s switch back to 2 s a esc_url user_switching switch_back_url old_user esc_html old_user display_name can i determine whether the current user switched into their account yes use the current_user_switched function for this if function_exists current_user_switched switched_user current_user_switched if switched_user user is logged in and has switched into their account switched_user is the wp_user object for their originating user does this plugin allow a user to frame another user for an action potentially yes but user switching includes some safety protections for this and there are further precautions you can take as a site administrator user switching stores the id of the originating user in the new session for the user they switch to although this session does not persist by default when they subsequently switch back there will be a record of this id if your mysql server has query logging enabled user switching stores the login name of the originating user in an authentication cookie see the privacy statement for more information if your server access logs store cookie data there will be a record of this login name along with the ip address for each access request you can install an audit trail plugin such as simple history wp activity log or stream all of which have built in support for user switching and all of which log an entry when a user switches into another account user switching triggers an action when a user switches account switches off or switches back see below you can use these actions to perform additional logging for safety purposes depending on your requirements one or more of the above should allow you to correlate an action with the originating user when a user switches account should you need to bear in mind that even without the user switching plugin in use any user who has the ability to edit another user can still frame another user for an action by for example changing their password and manually logging into that account if you are concerned about users abusing others you should take great care when granting users administrative rights can regular admins on multisite installations switch accounts no this can be enabled though by installing the user switching for regular admins plugin can i switch users directly from the admin toolbar yes there s a third party add on plugin for this admin bar user switching are any plugin actions called when a user switches account yes when
