|
The Masquerade module allows users to temporarily switch to another user
|
4 |
|
|
account. It keeps a record of the original user account, so users can easily
|
5 |
|
|
switch back to the previous account.

== Installation and Configuration ==
|
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
To install the Masquerade module, extract the module to your modules folder,
|
10 |
|
|
such as sites/all/modules. After enabling the module, it can be configured
|
11 |
|
|
under Administer > Configuration > People > Masquerade. To enable users to
|
12 |
|
|
masquerade, assign the appropriate "masquerade module" permissions to the roles
|
13 |
|
|
available on your site. For example:
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
* To allow members of the 'customer support' role to masquerade as any
|
16 |
|
|
non-admin user, add the 'masquerade as user' permission to the role. In the
|
17 |
|
|
Masquerade configuration, set 'administrator' as an administrator role
|
18 |
|
|
to prevent customer support users from masquerading as those users.
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
* To allow members of the 'tech support' role to masquerade as 'administrator', add the 'masquerade as admin' permission to the role. Then,
|
21 |
|
|
in the Masquerade configuration, set 'administrator' as an
|
22 |
|
|
administrator role.

|
== Quick Switch Menu ==
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
By default, when a user is selected for the 'Menu Quick Switch user', the Masquerade module adds two menu items to the 'Navigation' menu:
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
* Masquerade as 'the user selected': When clicked, the user can quick switch to the user selected.
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
* Switch back: This menu item appears while masquerading so that you can switch back to your original user.
