Then you'll need to load the plugin in the bootstrap method of the src/Application.php file.

or you can use the console to do this for you.

bin/cake plugin load ReconnexionBar

Configuration

Optional, you can change the configuration in your bootstrap.php file :

Configure::write('ReconnexionBar', [
    'column_name' => 'first_name', // Name of the column (string). You can use a virtual field for more customization
    'linkActionReconnectParentAccount' => [ // Url of action to reconnect on parent account
        'prefix' => false,
        'plugin' => false,
        'controller' => 'Users',
        'action' => 'reconnectParentAccount'
    ],
    'optionsQuery' => ['contain' => ['Roles']], // default = null. Possibility to add options in the Users query to reconnect to parent account
    'style' => [
        'type' => 'bar', // bar or circle
        'position' => 'bottom', // For bar : bottom or top. For circle : top-left, top-right, bottom-left or bottom-right
        'color' => '#e63757' // Color of the bar or circle
    ]
]);

You must load the ReconnexionBarComponent, create 2 actions and edit logout action to use this plugin. For exemple, in the UsersController.php file :

public function initialize(): void
{
    parent::initialize();
    $this->loadComponent('ReconnexionBar.Reconnexion');
}

/**
* Action to connect on another account
*/
public function connectOtherAccount($userId)
{
    $user = $this->Users->get($userId);
    $this->Reconnexion->connectOtherAccount($user);
}

/**
* Action to reconnect on the parent account
*/
public function reconnectParentAccount()
{
    $this->Reconnexion->reconnectParentAccount();
}

public function logout()
{
    $this->Reconnexion->deleteReconnectSession();
    ...
}
