What can Easy Login As do for you?
Built for real Joomla sites
Easy Login As adds a Login as button on the Users list. A trusted administrator opens the public site as that person, then returns from a bar on the site. There is no master password. Super Users stay protected, and each attempt is written to an audit log.
Users list
Open the site as them
One click from Users
A Login as button on each allowed account opens the public site as that person.
No shared password
The link is one-time, lasts two minutes, and never shows or changes the password.
Return when you are done
A bar on the site sends you back to the administrator and records the return.
Groups and blocks
Who may be opened
Viewable groups
Choose which user groups support staff may open. Registered is the default.
Protected groups
Super Users stay protected even if you remove them from the list.
Per administrator group
Optional map: each administrator group can open a different set of user groups.
Redirect
After they sign in
Same-site URL
Send the opened session to a page on your site. An off-site address is ignored.
Or a menu item
If the URL is empty, a chosen menu item is used. Otherwise the session lands on the home page.
Button label
Change the button text. Use %s where the person's name should appear.
A record of each open
Audit and email
Audit log
Started, returned, expired, reused, and forbidden attempts are stored.
Optional email
Subject and body accept {admin}, {user}, {username}, and {audit}. The login link is never included.
Purge old rows
Keep the log for a set number of days, or clear older rows from the toolbar.
When those extensions are installed
Shop and community lists
Orders and customers
Buttons can appear on HikaShop, VirtueMart, J2Store, and OS Membership lists.
Community lists
Community Builder, K2, and ExtendedReg user lists are included the same way.
Only when installed
If the extension or its table is missing, no button is added.
Package install
Joomla 4, 5, and 6
Component and plugin
One package installs the admin component and the system plugin.
Their login plugins still run
Sign-in uses the normal user-plugin stack, so K2 and ExtendedReg keep their own login behaviour.
PHP 8.1
Built for current Joomla. Joomla 3 is not included.

Have questions about Easy Login As?
Frequently asked questions
Easy Login As supports Joomla 4, 5, and 6. PHP 8.1 or later is required.
No. A Super User (or someone with the Login as user permission) clicks a button. The site opens with a one-time link that expires in two minutes. The password is never shown or changed.
Download EasyLoginAs_UNZIP.zip, unzip it, and install the pkg_easyloginas zip inside. That installs the component and the system plugin together.
Open Users > Manage. Allowed accounts show a Login as button in the last column. Blocked accounts, protected groups, and your own account do not.
Yes. Super User groups stay protected even if you remove them from the protected list. You can also map each administrator group to the user groups that group may open.
Yes. In Configuration, set a Redirect URL on this site, or choose a menu item. An address on another site is ignored.
Only if you turn Email on each login on. You can set the subject and body. Placeholders are {admin}, {user}, {username}, and {audit}. The one-time link is not included.
When that extension is installed, yes: HikaShop, VirtueMart, J2Store, OS Membership, Community Builder, K2, and ExtendedReg. If it is not installed, the list is left alone.
