What It Does

This plugin adds a menu item to your admin bar for changing your view in the WordPress admin. You can switch to other users without logging in as that user, or switch roles and temporarily change your own capabilities.

When viewing as a different user, you can also change their preferences, like screen settings on various admin pages. The Role defaults module allows you to set default screen settings and metabox locations for roles and apply them through bulk actions.

The Role manager module lets you add, edit, or remove roles and manage their capabilities. This plugin is secure and works with most other plugins, offering a streamlined experience for administrators.
