Overview
-
The Admin User Control module allows authorized administrators to login as any user without needing their password — perfect for debugging, support, and user management.
Control who can impersonate with a simple per-user boolean toggle on the user form. Access the feature from the user avatar dropdown menu or directly from any user's form view.
Every impersonation session is tracked with a full audit log showing administrator, target user, login/logout times, duration, and session status.
A sticky warning banner appears on both the backend and portal, clearly indicating the active impersonation with a one-click Switch Back button.
Developed and maintained by OdooElevate.
Key Features
-
Login As Any User
Instantly switch to any user's session without their password. Access via the user form button or the avatar dropdown menu.
-
Full Audit Trail
Every impersonation session is logged automatically with admin name, target user, timestamps, duration, and active/ended status.
-
Switch-Back Banner
A sticky warning banner appears on both backend and portal pages, with a one-click Switch Back button to return to admin session.
-
Per-User Access Control
A simple boolean toggle on each user controls who can impersonate. Not limited to admins — grant access to any trusted user.
-
Quick Access Menu
"Login As User" appears in the user avatar dropdown menu for quick access. Opens a simple wizard to select the target user.
-
Portal Support
Impersonate portal users too — automatically redirects to portal. Banner and switch-back work on both backend and portal pages.
How It Works
A step-by-step guide to user impersonation
Go to Settings → Users → User Form → Access Rights and enable "Can Login As Other Users"
Open any user's form and click "Login As This User" button in the header
Click your avatar in the top-right → select "Login As User" → choose the target user
Pick the user you want to impersonate from the wizard and click "Login As User"
A sticky warning banner shows who you're impersonating with a Switch Back button
The same banner appears on portal pages too — portal users see the warning and can switch back
All impersonation sessions are recorded under Settings → Users → Impersonation Logs
