and switch accounts manually.

 1. Log in as any non-admin user directly from the admin bar.
 2. Access user accounts from the Users page without logging out.
 3. Quickly test permissions and troubleshoot issues.
 4. Experience your site exactly as your users do.
 5. Safe and secure: only admins can switch accounts.
