Authentication - As User

Whether you’re troubleshooting a tech support issue, testing a login process, or verifying a feature, there are times when logging in as a specific user becomes essential. But do you know their password? Should you? Should you reset it just to get access? With "Authentication - As User," those questions become irrelevant—because all you need is your own password.

Say goodbye to the hassle of asking users for sensitive information or juggling temporary resets. This clever Joomla plugin lets designated group members log into any user account using their own credentials—combining the target account’s username with their own password. Designed with tech support in mind, "Authentication - As User" streamlines your workflow while keeping security and simplicity front and center.

Features

  • Define which user groups have the power to log in as others, putting control in your hands.
  • Members of authorized groups can’t log in as each other, ensuring the plugin’s function stays focused and secure.
  • Safeguard specific groups by excluding them from this plugin’s reach—Super Users are always untouchable by default.
  • Perfect for support teams who need quick, secure access without compromising user privacy.
  • Joomla 5! Native - no Backwards Compatibility Plugin Required!

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
