Duplicate Login as User from Admin Panel

[clawbennett]

Searched and couldn't find this in the suggestions based on title.

There should be a default way to login as a user from within the admin panel without requiring add-ons.

Troubleshooting a user account would be a lot easier if you didn't have to rely on the users information or having to use their password to login to their account. Similar to other forum software, there is a "login as user" when viewing the user account within the admin panel. I am sure there are paid add-ons for this, but by default this should be a very basic troubleshooting option within the Xenforo code itself.

[Suggestion] Admin Option: Login As User

For administrative purposes, can we get a "Login as User" feature?

Run away, do not use their addons/styles. They are banned from here for a good reason.

Mind explaining what happened?
