This module is no longer active. The Masquerade module does what this module does, only better, so go and download that instead.

The difference with Masquerade and my module is that mine displays the "switch" link along side the "edit" link for users, where as Masquerade has the option to masquerade as a user in the operations dropdown. Masquerade also logs the user-switching as well as giving you a switch-back link, so it is truly superior.

The initial download for this module will still be available if you feel like using it.

This little module gives you the ability to switch to any user via the admin panel found at admin/people in Drupal 7. It adds an extra link in the operations-section called 'switch'. Click it and you'll be logged in as that user.

You can also switch to a user by using a URL, switch-user/%uid. If you have the correct privileges the system will log you in as the given user.
