Introduction
π See your Joomla site exactly as one of your users sees it, in one click. Login as User adds a Login as button next to every user in the Joomla admin. Click it and the front-end opens in a new tab, logged in as that user, without their password. It is for site owners, shops, membership sites and agencies who answer support tickets about orders, forms and access.

This is a paid extension. A subscription covers 1, 3, 5 or unlimited sites, includes 1 year of updates and support, and the extension keeps working after it expires: https://www.web357.com/login-as-user-joomla-component/pricing
Works with Joomla 4, 5 and 6.
Why It's a Game-Changer
👀 See the problem the customer sees
Their orders, menus, access levels and profile, exactly as they appear to them.
⏱ Close tickets faster
No more asking for screenshots or passwords. Click, check, fix.
🛒 Works inside your shop and membership extensions
Go from an order or a subscription straight to the customer's view.
🔒 You decide who can use it
For each user group, allow specific admins or whole admin groups, or nobody at all.
📝 Every login is on record
Joomla's User Actions Log and an optional email tell you who logged in as whom.
