Instead of switching users within the same browser session, this plugin adds an option to open the "Log in as" session in a new Incognito window — keeping the admin session active in the main window and avoiding the need to log back in afterwards.
Features
- "Log in as" opens in a new Incognito window — no repeated logins for administrators
- Admin session remains active in the main window in parallel
- Incognito mode isolates the "Log in as" session from normal LMS use
Known limitations
- In Safari, "Open in New Private Window" is only available when already in a private window
- In Chrome and Edge, Incognito windows share a single session — only one "Log in as" session can be active at a time
- Course-level "Log in as" is not supported
- The generated link expires after fifteen seconds, which may be an accessibility concern
- Mobile and tablet browsers may not be fully supported
- Test coverage is minimal due to the inability to test Incognito sessions in Behat
