I made a seperate thread due even though this idea was brought up here:
http://xenforo.com/community/threads/suggestion-admin-option-login-as-user.1437/
Brogan originally brought the idea to attention but it does seem as if everyone is still posting about admins logging in as users
ACTUAL IDEA:
Any who... other software already have this ability and I love it, I've used it so many times.
Basically the idea behind it is an admin can click on a user-group in the admin panel to obtain the same permissions as that group. This would allow the admin to quickly browse over permissions of different groups in a live mode rather than viewing tabled information that could be overlooked potentially. Somewhere on the page as you're browsing there's a simple "Revert permissions" or "Back to admin" which would restore your permissions.
// ACTUAL IDEA
Some say this should be a hack or an add-on but I would rather trust the developers to implement this haha .
Some will also say - just make an account to test out the privileges - well so many features that are built into software are put there for EASE.
Thoughts?
IMPLEMENTED!
I've attached some screenshots in my post here
