Switch Between User

[RMA]

I have tried may plugin to switch to student's account as I did with WPLMS 3.0. None of the plugin works. Any suggestion or is there a place in 4.0 to do so? This is critical to assist student.

Yes, user switching plugin will not work in v4, because the system is based on JWT login which generates token and then allow users to login, after that they can access their controls. Previously, it was purely based on Wordpress, and that's why this was working You can still check user profiles, but to access, you need to login in user's account

[RMA]

Yes. The problem that we do not have the users PW.

hi you can reset the user’s password to login this is the only alternative for now

Here is a fix that works. User will need but the JWT plugin. It gives administrators a temporally token to log into a students account. Thank you for using the Advanced Access Manager (aka AAM) plugin. With strong knowledge and experience in WordPress core, AAM becomes a very powerful collection of services to manage access to the website frontend, backend, and RESTful API. Note! Power comes with responsibility. Make sure you have a good understanding of WordPress Roles & Capabilities because AAM is very closely integrated with WordPress core. It is also recommended to have a backup of your database table wp_options before you start working with AAM. There is no need to back up your files. AAM does not modify any physical files on your server and never did. AAM is thoroughly tested on the fresh installation of the latest WordPress and in the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, IE, and Firefox. If you have any issues, the most typical cause is a conflict with other plugins or themes. If you are not sure where to start, please check our "Get Started" page to learn more about core concepts that may help you to manage access to your WordPress website more effectively.

hi @RMA thanks for sharing this information here hope will help other users too have you tested this on your site and get the desired result? if yes then please confirm

[RMA]

Yes. I have tested it and able to assist students without having to chance PW. You have to set a token for the student account and give it a time that the token will expire. Then copy the URL and then click login.
