It keeps a record of the original user account, so users can easily\nswitch back to the previous account.\n\nIt adds a link on a user\\'s profile page that allows permitted users to\nmasquerade as that user. Upon masquerading, a link to \"switch back\" to the\noriginal user will appear in the menu. While masquerading, the option to \nmasquerade as another user will not appear. All masquerading transactions \nare logged, and `$user-\u003emasquerading` will be set; this could be displayed\nvia theme.\n\nIn the masquerade settings a list of roles are presented; any checked role\nis considered an \"administrator\" and requires the second level \"masquerade as admin\"\npermission to masquerade as. User #1 is automatically considered an administrator,\nregardless of roles.\n\nInstallation\n----------------------------\n\nTo install the Masquerade module, extract the module to your modules folder.\nAfter enabling the module, it can be configured under \nConfiguration \u003e User accounts \u003e Masquerade. To enable users to\nmasquerade, assign the appropriate \"masquerade module\" permissions to the roles\navailable on your site. For example:\n\n* To allow members of the 'customer support' role to masquerade as any\n  non-admin user, add the 'masquerade as user' permission to the role. In the\n  Masquerade configuration, set 'administrator' as an administrator role\n  to prevent customer support users from masquerading as those users.\n\n* To allow members of the 'tech support' role to masquerade as 'administrator',\n  add the 'masquerade as admin' permission to the role. Then,\n  in the Masquerade configuration, set 'administrator' as an\n  administrator role.\n\n\t \nUsage / Quick Switch Menu\n----------------------------\n\nBy default, when a user is selected for the 'Menu Quick Switch user', the Masquerade module adds two menu items to the 'Navigation' menu:\n\n * Masquerade as 'the user selected': When clicked, the user can quick switch to the user selected.\n * Switch back: This menu item appears while masquerading so that you can switch back to your original user.\n \nLicense\n----------------------------\n\nThis project is GPL v2 software.
