Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about View Admin As
If the amount of users and roles combined is more than 15 you can find the users under their roles or you can search for them.
If the amount of users is more than 100 the plugin will switch to AJAX search and won't load users in advance for performance.
This limit can be changed through the filter: view_admin_as_user_query_limit
2. How does the capability system work?
Only the capabilities that are allowed for your user are shown.
You can deselect the capabilities by clicking on them. When you would like to see the results just click the apply button on the upper left.
Please note that as an administrator you don't have all capabilities marked as enabled by default. This is because WP overrules some capability checks for super admins. This does not happen when you are in a view!
You can also filter the roles by name or select/deselect all capabilities.
Note: When you select/deselect capabilities while you've filtered them only the capabilities shown by your filter are affected!
When you disable a capability that prevents you from viewing a screen, you can reset the view, see next item.
3. I can't switch back!
When a view is selected there is a reset button available on the dropdown.
If you get a 403 page of WordPress you can return with the link that this plugin will add to those pages.
And if even that doesn't work just add "?reset-view" in the address bar and you're good to go! This will work on all pages as long as you are logged in.

5. I can't find a user!
Could it be that this user is an equal user to your's? Example: you are both Admins?
If so, these are filtered. Viewing Admins can only be done when you are a Super Admin within a network installation.

If this is not the case, please make sure you aren't overlooking something.
If that is not the case, please contact me! See next item.
6. It's not working! / I found a bug!
Please let me know through the support and add a plugins and themes list! :)
7. Is this plugin safe? Even for production websites?
You have nothing to worry about.
All the plugin functionality is only run if the user is logged in AND is allowed to use this plugin (website admin or custom capabilities).
This plugin will do absolutely nothing if the above requirements are not met.
Your view is stored separately so your user will keep the normal roles and capabilities.
All settings, views, capabilities, etc. are verified before applied.
Passwords are not (and cannot be) revealed.
Fully written with the WordPress coding and security standards.
Full support for SSL (https).
So basically if your admin users are safe, this plugin will be safe.
Note: if your admin users aren't safe, this plugin is the last one to worry about ;)
8. Does this plugin work as a must-use plugin (mu-plugin)?
Yes, see Install as a must-use plugin on the Installation tab.
If that is not the case, please contact me! See next item.
