It’s very handy. I use it to switch to customer accounts in order to load orders for them. Certain of my customers have different pricing. so this allows me to load an order with their pricing applied. I would like to be able to configure the admin dashboard feature to only show a particular user profile subset. other than this it is very good as it is. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6d24d9c9dfa859456f0d32aa06c98d4fb380c529dacb38afb945914226b211a4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Thanks!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/thanks-2290/)󠁿 [Gennady](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ebutiixaxyhp/) July 24, 2022 Very useful plugin! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0f42094aba0da8b72279d84be8c3ae171fc44338d26bc14d6a505bf796d5a4c0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very Useful ✔](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-%e2%9c%94/)󠁿 [pedrodigitalgreen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pedrodigitalgreen/) March 4, 2022 Very useful plugin.
