User Switching

This plugin allows you to quickly swap between user accounts in WordPress at the click of a button. You’ll be instantly logged out and logged in as your desired user. This is handy for for helping customers on WooCommerce sites, membership sites, testing environments, or for any site where administrators need to switch between multiple accounts.

Fonctionnalités

• Changer d’utilisateur : changer instantanément pour n’importe quel compte utilisateur depuis l’écran Utilisateurs.
• Basculer de nouveau : basculez instantanément vers votre compte d’origine.
• Désactiver : déconnectez-vous de votre compte mais conservez la possibilité de basculer de nouveau instantanément.
• Compatible with Multisite, WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and bbPress.
• Compatible with most membership and user management plugins.
• Compatible with most two-factor authentication solutions (see the FAQ for more info).
• Approved for use on enterprise-grade WordPress platforms such as Altis and WordPress VIP.

Note: User Switching supports versions of WordPress up to three years old, and PHP version 7.4 or higher.

Sécurité

• Only users with the ability to edit other users can switch user accounts. By default this is only Administrators on single site installations, and Super Admins on Multisite installations.
• Les mots de passe ne sont pas (et ne peuvent pas être) révélés.
• Uses the cookie authentication system in WordPress when remembering the account(s) you’ve switched from and when switching back.
• Implémente le système de sécurité de nonce dans WordPress, c’est-à-dire que seuls ceux qui ont l’intention de changer d’utilisateur peuvent le faire.
• Full support for user session validation where appropriate.
• Full support for HTTPS.

Utilisation

1. Visit the Users menu in WordPress and you’ll see a Switch To link in the list of action links for each user.
2. Cliquez sur ce bouton et vous basculerez immédiatement sur ce compte utilisateur.
3. You can switch back to your originating account via the Switch back link on each dashboard screen or in your profile menu in the WordPress toolbar.

See the FAQ for information about the Switch Off feature.

Déclaration de confidentialité

User Switching makes use of browser cookies in order to allow users to switch to another account. Its cookies operate using the same mechanism as the authentication cookies in WordPress core, which means their values contain the user’s user_login field in plain text which should be treated as potentially personally identifiable information (PII) for privacy and regulatory reasons (GDPR, CCPA, etc). The names of the cookies are:

• wordpress_user_sw_{COOKIEHASH}
• wordpress_user_sw_secure_{COOKIEHASH}
• wordpress_user_sw_olduser_{COOKIEHASH}

User Switching n’envoie pas les données à des tiers, ni n’inclut des ressources tierces, et ne le fera jamais.

See also the FAQ for some questions relating to privacy and safety when switching between users.

Accessibility Statement

User Switching aims to be fully accessible to all of its users. It implements best practices for web accessibility, outputs semantic and structured markup, adheres to the default styles and accessibility guidelines of WordPress, uses the accessibility APIs provided by WordPress and web browsers where appropriate, and is fully accessible via keyboard.

User Switching should adhere to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 at level AA when used with a recent version of WordPress where its admin area itself adheres to these guidelines. If you’ve experienced or identified an accessibility issue in User Switching, please open a thread in the User Switching plugin support forum and I’ll address it swiftly.
