How can a super administrator login as another user

Post by fh76 » Sun Mar 15, 2009 1:45 pm

Hi!
I have to solve the following problem.
1. Super Admin logs in thru front end
2. He sees a list of all registered users
3. He clicks on any one of them and he LOGS IN AS THAT REGISTERED USER.

Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanx in advance.

Hi fh76,

This may not be exactly what you need, but try have a look at the plugin named 'Master Password Plugin':

I made a component com_selectivelogin, added a menu item to this component. This menu item is only for Super Admin. Now this component shows a drop down SELECT list of only REGISTERED users. Now SuperAdmin could select any user from the drop down list and when he presses button <LOGIN AS> he must be automatically logged out and then relogged back in system but NOT as Super admin but as the user he selected from the list.
I can't complete the last part. Plz if possible give some hints or suggestions. Its very urgent .
Thanks
