Is there a module that enables me to switch user and / or role without logging out and back in? The one aspect of D development that bugs me most is logging in and out to test permissions settings and whatnot. I looked on drupal.org and didn't see anything. Maybe I missed it.
Check out the Administration Menu module (http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu). It allows you to switch users without logging out. Steve Christopher M. Jones wrote:

The Devel module lets you do that. http://drupal.org/project/devel -Mike On Dec 5, 2008, at 1:43 PM, Christopher M. Jones wrote:

My decidedly low-tech and non-dupal way of handling this is to use 2 browsers -- Firefox for my admin and Opera or Chrome for my test user. I find this much easier. It also means my admin login doesn't have to leave the admin page to test the results. As an added bonus it works with any web app/framework. -Craig On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 3:43 PM, Christopher M.

I do this, too. Works with any two browsers (I often use IE to see that user experience). :-) George -----Original Message----- From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Craig Forbes Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 2:50 PM To: support@drupal.org Subject: Re: [support] Drupal sudo My decidedly low-tech and non-dupal way of handling this is to use 2 browsers -- Firefox for my admin and Opera or Chrome for my test user.

But sometimes you want to log into that user, without having to know the password. This works especially well when you have a dev->qa->prod workflow environment and you don't want dev accounts on prod. George Rodgers-Clark wrote:

You can use the same browser as long as you have two paths to the same Drupal instance with different cookies. I often do that in development just to have an anonymous, an authenticated and an admin open at once. -- Earnie http://r-feed.com Make a Drupal difference and review core patches. -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/
