Security Controls
Granular Permissions

Define who can switch users using dedicated "Login As User" and "Login As Manager" access groups, preventing unauthorized impersonation.

Systray Picker

Locate target users quickly using a smart search dropdown in the navigation bar. Easily filter between Internal and Portal users.

Form View Shortcuts
One-Click Switch

Access direct "Login As" action buttons on backend User forms, and impersonate portal contacts directly from the Partner/Contact screen.

Sticky Return Banner
Portal Impersonation

A prominent sticky banner is displayed at the top of portal pages during active impersonations, allowing a one-click return to the admin session.

Detailed Audit Logs

User Switch Process

Review the exact visual panels showing configurations, user switching, and portal sessions.

1. User Access Security Rules

Configure user access rights on the User form view. Managers can assign 'User' or 'Administrator' roles under the 'EB SECURITY MASTER' section to control who is permitted to perform session switches.

User Access Security Rules
2. Navbar Impersonate Shortcut

Once security permissions are assigned, authorized users will see a dedicated incognito/impersonate icon in the top-right systray of the Odoo navigation bar.

Navbar Impersonate Shortcut
3. Quick Switch User Dialog

Clicking the systray icon opens a smart search dialog. Here, you can search for accounts by name, email, or login, review recent switches, or select from internal and portal user lists.

Quick Switch User Dialog
4. Portal Account Filtering

Filter users easily by selecting the 'Portal' tab in the switcher dialog to locate customers or portal contacts. Click 'Login As' to start the support session.

Portal Account Filtering
5. Portal Session & Sticky Return Banner

When active, a sticky yellow banner is displayed at the top of portal pages indicating who you are impersonating. A 'Return to My Account' button allows switching back to the admin session in one click.

Portal Session & Sticky Return Banner
6. Form View 'Login As' Action Button

In addition to the navbar shortcut, administrators can impersonate internal users or portal contacts directly from their Odoo backend User form view using the 'Login As' button in the header.

Version 17.0.1.0.0

Stable Odoo release of the Login As Any User module. Fully integrates backend user switching, portal return banners, access configurations, and audit trails.

Key Enhancements
  • Granular user picker with fast dropdown search and filter support.
  • Dedicated security access groups for switching and configuring constraints.
  • Integrated portal sticky banners to safely switch back to original accounts.
  • Full system log audit views to review impersonation logs and details.
  • Automatic restriction guards on Admin/Settings user impersonation.
Release History
v17.0.1.0.0
Stable release matching Odoo 17 framework specifications. Complete suite for support session management and audits.
Who can use the Switch User feature?
Only users assigned to the 'Login As User' or 'Login As Manager' security groups can see the switcher icon and impersonate users. Managers can configure settings, while users can only perform switches allowed by the settings.
Does this module store passwords?
No, the module switches sessions securely in the backend using Odoo's internal session management without needing or exposing user passwords.
Can portal users switch accounts?
Absolutely not. The switch functionality is strictly restricted to authorized backend users. Portal users only see the session return banner when an admin has switched into their account.
How does the audit logging work?
Every switch event is stored in the Audit Log (`eb.login.as.log`), including who initiated the session, who was impersonated, when it started, when it ended, the IP address, and browser User-Agent.
Built for Secure Internal Operations

Manage Support Cases Easily,
While Safeguarding User Credentials

Investigate issues, test permissions, and assist portal users without demanding login passwords. Support teams can inspect the Odoo interface exactly as the affected user does, ensuring faster issue resolution.
