Beskrivelse
Dalmatian Dream Login As User adds a secure «Login as user» action to the WordPress Users screen for administrators with the dedicated dd_switch_users capability.
The plugin uses opaque per-session switch tokens, server-side transient state, nonce-protected switch and return actions, strict target validation, safe redirects, and cleanup on logout. It blocks nested impersonation and protects multisite super administrator accounts.
The plugin does not send data to external services and does not include telemetry, advertising, or remote code.
Privacy
Dalmatian Dream Login As User does not transmit personal data to external services. Switch-session state is stored temporarily in the local WordPress database using transients and is removed when the session expires, the user returns to the administrator account, or the impersonated user logs out.
Installasjon
- Upload the
dd-login-as-userfolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen in WordPress.

dd_switch_userscapability on activation.
Ofte stilte spørsmål

How long does a switch session last?

The default timeout is 60 minutes. It can be adjusted with the
DD_LOGIN_AS_USER_TIMEOUTconstant or thedd_login_as_user_timeoutfilter.
