When I have only admin account I can easily switch to a random users and reproduce their issue. Thanks for the great solution. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b36e79ea0622e844d361b62cf4aa9c4167974cea519c584393bec3f878dffa85? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not better than alternative plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/much-better-than-alternative-plugin/)󠁿 [JustBruno](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justbruno/) 3 stycznia 2018 Edited review and rating: I am editing my review. This only supports users with the administrator role. With that being the case, it is not very useful to me or probably most other users who have many hands working on the web site. I would not reduce my rating except that in addition, there seems to be no support. 5-3= 2 stars. Original Review: We were using user switching plugin and needed t use an add on plugin with that one that put switch commands in the header toolbar because without it you needed to scroll to the very bottom of the page to switch back. Very cluncky! This is far better!!! Thanks!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9079c016b65652c1acc8fb15963f2bdeeee18d1890e7fa8b599049842f4cd45f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Easy. Works great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/easy-works-great-2/)󠁿 [greendragontech](https://profiles.wordpress.org/greendragontech/) 5 mŏja 2017 I have another plugin I just had to have and some of the other plugins like this one would conflict. This one is lightweight and works without breaking other plugins. Very happy. One request, make is so non-admins could use this too (be selected role) but cannot switch to an admin account. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ca3a915ed2b2385a52180783210b46c9d0b1d56b9262678fceebbc25379cc80e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[I like it](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-like-it-404/)󠁿 [elenkadark](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elenkadark/) 22 kwiytnia 2017 This plugin helps me very much when I need to test custom user roles. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/9a8186d7b08e46cc6cec58bf1c694f31210f80edf2f0bb2c25b0827bd3bff5a3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Two thumbs up!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/two-thumbs-up-25/)󠁿 [arogers777](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arogers777/) 10 kwiytnia 2017 I love this plugin with my Dokan store! It simplifies the process when a Vendor needs help from Admin. Switching back and forth is easy, too!
