About Cambia Utente
From the official readme · v1.5Description
Cambia Utente adds an admin screen that lists the site users and lets an
administrator log in as any of them with one click. It is handy for support and
debugging: you can check what a WooCommerce customer actually sees — active
orders, available downloads, account pages — without asking for their password.
How it works:
- A top-level Cambia Utente menu (icon: people) is added to wp-admin.
- The screen lists users with name and email and an Log in button each.
- Clicking a button replaces your session with that user’s session and sends you
to the site front page as that user. - To go back to your account, log out and log in again as administrator.
Security:
- The screen and the switch action are restricted to users with the
edit_users
capability (administrators), customisable via thecambia_utente_capabilityfilter. - Every switch is protected by a WordPress nonce.
- The plugin stores no options, creates no tables and sends no data to external services.
Installation
- Upload the
cambia-utentefolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install the
plugin from the Plugins screen in WordPress. - Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
- Open the Cambia Utente menu in wp-admin and click Log in next to a user.
Frequently asked questions
Who can switch user?
Only logged-in administrators (users with the edit_users capability). You can change the required capability with the cambia_utente_capability filter.
How do I switch back to my administrator account?
Log out and log back in as administrator. The plugin performs a one-way switch by design and keeps no impersonation state.
Does it require WooCommerce?
No. It works with any WordPress users. It is especially useful together with WooCommerce to inspect a customer’s orders and downloads.
Does the plugin send any data to external services?
No. Everything happens on your own site; no third party is contacted.
Changelog
Recommended security and reliability update: stricter capability and nonce checks, fully escaped output, and a proper Stable tag.
1.5
- Security: capability check moved to
edit_users, all input is unslashed and
sanitised, and the nonce is verified before any action. - The user switch now runs on
admin_init, clears the previous auth cookie and
redirects after switching. - Output is fully escaped; the inline
<style>block was moved to an enqueued
stylesheet loaded only on the plugin page. - Added a guard against direct file access (ABSPATH check) and the
cambia_utente_capability filter. - Fixed the user display name (was reading a non-existent property).
- Completed the plugin header and rewrote the readme in English with a Stable tag
and License URI (the previous readme had no Stable tag).
1.4
- Previous public release.
