Admin User Switch - Advanced User Impersonation System for Odoo
Complete User Impersonation Solution
Professional admin user switching system with granular access control and comprehensive audit logging
Description
Professional admin user switching system with granular access control that allows authorized users to impersonate any user account for testing, troubleshooting, and support purposes. This module provides secure user impersonation while maintaining comprehensive audit trails.
Perfect for system administrators, IT support teams, and quality assurance testing. The module includes granular access control, user-friendly interface, and comprehensive audit logging with no access by default for maximum security.
Key Features
Granular Access Control
Only explicitly allowed users can switch - no access by default
User-Friendly Interface
Simple systray icons with search functionality
One-Click Restoration
Back to Account button when impersonating
Audit Logging
Comprehensive tracking of all user switches
Configuration
Setting up User Switch Access Control
Go to the "Administration" - "User Switch Settings" menu to configure access control.
Add users to the "Users Allowed to Switch" list to grant them access to the user switching functionality.
Click "Save" to grant access to selected users, or "Remove Access" to revoke permissions. Changes take effect immediately.
Security Features
The module includes comprehensive security features to ensure safe and controlled user impersonation while maintaining system integrity.
Security measures include preventing nested impersonation, blocking public/portal user access, preventing self-switching, and maintaining secure session management with fallback protection.
Protected actions include:
Access Control
No user has access by default - even system administrators must be explicitly added to the allowed users list. This ensures maximum security and prevents unauthorized access to the switching functionality.
The granular access control system allows administrators to precisely control which users can access the switching functionality, providing enterprise-level security.
Usage
Step-by-step (as in screenshots):
- Activate the module from Apps â Admin User Switch (install/upgrade).
- Open Settings â User Switch Settings from the top tabs under Settings.
- Click New, then add users in Users Allowed to Switch and click Save. Even the Administrator must be added. Use Remove Access to revoke.
- Use the systray Switch icon (topâright). In the dialog, search/select a user and click Switch User.
- Return with Back to Account from the systray when impersonating.
Notes:
- Targets donât need extra permissions or approval to be impersonated.
- Portal/public and selfâswitching are blocked; nested impersonation is prevented.
Testing
Testing the User Switch Functionality
To test the user switching functionality, first configure access control by adding users to the allowed list in Administration â User Switch Settings.
Verify that the switch user icon appears in the systray for authorized users and that switching works correctly with proper restoration functionality.
Testing Particularities
Important testing notes:
- No users have access by default - must be explicitly added
- Switch icon only appears for authorized users when not impersonating
- Back to Account icon only appears when impersonating
- Audit logs track all switching activities
- Nested impersonation is prevented
