View As User

[Brandin]

Hey there!

I have an idea for a new feature in my system so the Administrators can view as Users. Basically, I want any System Administrator to access a page, we'll call it

Code:

usersc/userview.php

. On this page, they can select a user from the user list, which will redirect them to a page with the general navigation bar, their name, etc. and then an IFRAME or something of the system again, but viewing as the user they selected on the previous page. So, in a sense, they will see everything they would see on any page, including the navigation, but as that user within the IFRAME window.

Maybe IFRAME is not the best method for this, but that is why I'm turning to you guys for help in turning this into an actual script. The reason for this system is to see the users current alerts, remove items specific to their user, and modify stuff within their account. My system has many different tables, all linked to the custom pages I have created, but every table is linked with a column called

Code:

user_id

which only allows the current user to see their database rows in each table. This is why I need this feature to view things as a specific user.

Thanks in advance!
