|
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.
|
|

|

|
24
|
== 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.
