README

Enhances the standard Moodle™ LMS "Log in as" feature — fully open source under GPL 3.0, with no restrictions on commercial use. Part of the MuTMS suite.

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

Requirements

This plugin is included in the MuTMS distribution — no manual installation needed if you use the distribution.
