Overview

separator
  • 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

separator
  • 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.
