Login As Any User with Real-Time Impersonation Dashboard

The only Odoo impersonation module with a built-in dashboard. Login as any user in one click, track every action with full audit trail, and monitor all impersonation activity from a real-time dashboard with KPI stats, active sessions, and Force End. No other module offers this level of visibility and control.

Built for Odoo Partners, IT Administrators, Helpdesk Teams, and Support Staff who need complete oversight of user access.

One click to switch user. Real-time dashboard. Full activity tracking. Zero passwords exposed.

Stop Resetting Passwords to Debug User Issues

Every day, Odoo admins and support teams waste time asking users for passwords, resetting credentials, or guessing what went wrong. These workarounds are slow, risky, and leave zero audit trail.

Password Reset Nightmare

Resetting user passwords to debug issues disrupts their work, breaks API integrations, confuses users, and creates unnecessary security risks. There has to be a better way.

No Accountability or Audit Trail

When admins access user accounts through workarounds, there is no record of who logged in, what they changed, or when. This is a compliance and security nightmare.

Blind Troubleshooting Wastes Hours

Without seeing the user's actual menus, permissions, data, and dashboards, support teams rely on screenshots and back-and-forth messages. Issues that take 2 minutes to fix take 2 hours.

This module solves everything with one-click login as user, complete audit logging, and automatic session timeout.

The Only Impersonation Module with a Built-In Dashboard

Everything you need to login as any user, track every action, and maintain full security — all in one module.

Real-Time Impersonation Dashboard (Unique!)

No other module has this. A full OWL dashboard with KPI cards (today/week/month/active sessions), active sessions table with Force End button, most impersonated users ranking, and complete session history — all in one view. Total visibility and control.

One-Click "Login As User"

Click "Login As This User" on any user form and instantly see Odoo exactly as they see it — their menus, permissions, dashboards, and data. No password changes. No user disruption. Switch back to admin anytime.

Per-Action Activity Tracking (Unique!)

No other module tracks this. Every single create, edit, and delete action during impersonation is automatically logged with model name, record ID, timestamp, and action type. Full GDPR-friendly traceability and accountability.

Session Timeout with Live Countdown

Configurable session duration (default 60 minutes) with a live MM:SS countdown timer in the banner. Warning flash animation at less than 5 minutes. Sessions auto-expire — no forgotten impersonations ever.

Result: The only module where you can login as user, track every action, AND monitor everything from a real-time dashboard.

Who Needs Login As User?

Odoo Partners & Consultants

Debug client issues instantly. See what their users see without asking for passwords or scheduling screen shares.

IT & System Admins

Verify permission setups, test role-based access, troubleshoot user-specific configuration issues with full audit compliance.

Helpdesk & Support

Resolve user tickets in minutes, not hours. Experience the problem firsthand instead of relying on vague descriptions.

QA & Testing Teams

Test user-specific workflows, permission-dependent features, and role-based views without managing multiple test accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does "Login As User" reset the user's password?
No. This module never touches or exposes any user's password. It uses secure session switching — the target user's password is never changed, revealed, or compromised in any way.
Can any user impersonate others?
No. Only users in the "Impersonation Admin" security group can impersonate. The button is invisible to everyone else. You have full control over who gets this privilege.
What happens when the session times out?
The impersonation session ends automatically and you are redirected back to the login page. The session is fully logged with its complete duration. The countdown timer warns you before expiry with a visual flash at less than 5 minutes.
Will activity tracking slow down my Odoo instance?
No. Activity tracking only runs during active impersonation sessions (not for normal users). It uses an O(1) session lookup and excludes all system/technical models (mail, bus, ir, etc.) to minimize any overhead. Normal Odoo performance is completely unaffected.
Which Odoo versions and editions are supported?
This module supports Odoo 19, 18, 17, and 16 — both Community and Enterprise editions. Each version is individually tested and optimized for its specific framework. Works on Odoo.sh, on-premise, and Docker installations.
Is this module GDPR / compliance friendly?
Yes. Every impersonation session and every action taken during impersonation is fully logged and auditable. You can demonstrate exactly who accessed what, when, and what changes were made — which is exactly what auditors and compliance officers need.
