Admin Account Switcher Workflow

Using this extension an admin can login into another admin's account directly from admin edit form section without requiring a password which allows them to debug easily without having to reset the other admin's password.

The admin can only use this functionality if they have the "Scommerce Switch Admin Account" (Admin>System>Permissions>User Roles>Select Role>Role Resources)selected under role resources for their user role.

Go to Admin>System>Permissions>All Users, here select(click edit) the admins account in which you want to login.

From the top menu click on "Switch User" and you will be logged into that admin's account without password authentication.

Admin Account Switcher Role

The "Switch to User" button is displayed only if the current admin user has the "Scommerce Switch Admin Account" permissions in their user role.

To check this, you can go to Admin>System>Permissions>User Roles>Role Resources and check whether the user role has "Scommerce Switch Admin Account Role" selected.
