Force Switch User (FSU) Module - Making User Switching As Convenient As Possible

As a Drupal developer, you may have worked on a website where you must change user/role frequently.

Drupal default login does allows you to do that, but it wastes time and is a bother when you have to log in/log out so many times.

That's why we create Force Switch User. You can switch to another user with just one click in real time without touching Drupal log in panel.

What's more is there are Master and Anonymous roles, which makes this module unique.
This is why we think the Force Switch User will not only benefit developers but will also be valuable for websites that allow users to switch to other roles immediately like Online Learning, E-commerce, etc.

Also, we write and optimize the code to force log in/log out user session, which doesn't cause any errors and bugs like we had from using the other module. The action and dashboard is made as easy and convenient as possible for use.

Learn more details below.

How it works

After being installed and enabled, there will be a small moving panel on your website, where you can enter the log-in credential immediately.

FSU panel closed

FSU panel open

You can enter the user account that you have without using Drupal default login pages/places.

A recent user log within the panel exists so that you can click and switch to the user account instantly

There is a FSU Master tab where you can enter the master password and have the admin (highest role), which you can use to create FSU account, set the role, edit or change any anonymous FSU users.

There is another force switch user module, but it only allows 1 type of user (admin). We allow Master and Anonymous Roles.

Who is this module for?

Drupal Developers
Webmasters with lots of user roles
Online courses, E-commerce, or any sites that allow users to switch the user/role in real time.
