How to login to wordpress as a different user

Hi

I developed a user subscription base prototype for a startup using wordpress. When user logged in, he has the full access to all the contents that belong to him and able to add/edit/delete as he wish.

Question: As the admin, I should be able to login as any of my clients and fix issues and trouble shoot any problems they have; however, I can not do that since I do not have their password. What I would like to have is to using admin password, but log as a user. This is sort of like in linux when you are in root you can simply can login as a user by typing "su user".


Is this possible to do in wordpress ?

thanks

WordPress is not setup to do that without doing some custom programming.

I have used that plugin and it does work as advertised. I would strongly suggest having two different browsers though.  Use your primary browser as normal and use the secondary browser to login and switch to other users.
