Login As Another User

Instantly switch to any user account without knowing their password — perfect for testing, debugging & support

Watch It In Action

See how easy it is to configure hide action rules in under 1 minute.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Key Features

Login As Any User

Switch to any user account instantly — internal users, portal users, or any other user type. No password required.

One-Click Switch Back

A yellow "Switch Back" button appears in the top bar when impersonating. Return to your admin account in one click.

User Form Button

A "Login As" stat button on each user form — open a user profile and click to instantly switch to their account.

Wizard Mode

Open the "Login As" wizard from the menu — select a user from a searchable dropdown, optionally filter by access group.

System Admin Only

Only users in the Settings (System) group can use Login As. Regular users never see the menu or buttons.

Audit Trail

Every login-as switch is logged in the server log with timestamps, admin name, and target user — full accountability.

How It Works

1

Select a User

Open the Login As wizard from the menu, or click the "Login As" button on any user's form.

2

Browse as That User

You are now logged in as the selected user. See exactly what they see — menus, permissions, data access.

3

Switch Back

Click the yellow "Switch Back" button in the top bar to return to your admin account instantly.

Why This Module?

Test Permissions Instantly

Verify that access rights, menus, and record rules work correctly for any user — without logging out and back in.

Faster User Support

See exactly what a user sees. Reproduce issues, fix configurations, and resolve tickets without asking for screenshots.

Secure & Controlled

Only system administrators can use Login As. All switches are logged. Session tokens are securely recomputed.

Lightweight & Clean

Only depends on the web module. No bloat, no unnecessary dependencies. Uses the same pattern as Odoo's own /web/become.
