Time Saver Yes, it’s a time saver kit when you are handling customer support!â¤ï¸
Reviewed wrong plugin Sorry, reviewed the wrong plugin.
A Life-Saver For Admins to Help Customers I use this to temporarily switch to Woocommerce customer accounts and help them checkout their shopping carts when problems prevent them from doing it themselves.
This is essential because I don’t have to rely on explaining multiple steps to old folks who hate computers. I can simply jump in and do it for them (without trying to login on another browser as a them while they can’t remember login passwords and have to reset it and then they can’t get to their email, and so on).
This also works in a limited way for editor-role users such as staff members who I don’t want to have admin-level access to WordPress.
Love it!
works very well Great time saver, thanks for the plugin.

Our website has hundreds of staff users, and when one of them has a “Permissions problem”, this plugin is the best way to sort it out.
Many thanks John!
