This plugin will add a menu item to your admin bar where you can change your view in the WordPress admin.
Switch to other users without the need to login as that user or even switch roles and temporarily change your own capabilities.
When you’re viewing as a different user, you can also change this user’s preferences; like screen settings on various admin pages.
With the “Role defaults” module you can set default screen settings and metabox locations for roles and apply them to users through various bulk actions.
It also features a “Role manager” module to add, edit or remove roles and grant or deny them capabilities.

Note: Changes made with the Role Manager are permanent!

This plugin is completely safe and will keep your users, passwords and data secure.
For more info see item 7 at FAQ!
This plugin will only be useful for admins (network super admins or regular admins). It will not add functionalities for other roles unless you specifically apply custom capabilities for those users.
Also keep in mind that switching to users that have equal roles is disabled. (regular admins to regular admins + super admins to super admins)
I’ve created this at first for myself since I’m a developer and often need to see the outcome on roles which my clients use.
So, when you are developing a plugin or theme that does anything with roles or capabilities you can use this plugin to easily check if everything works.
No more hassle of creating test users and constantly logging out and in anymore!
This plugin is also useful to support your clients and/or users. For example; make screen display presets of the edit and overview pages before you let them log in.
