<p>The masquerade module adds a link on a user's profile page that allows permitted users to masquerade as that user. Upon masquerading, a link to "switch back" to the original user will appear in the menu. While masquerading, the option to masquerade as another user will not appear. All masquerading transactions are logged, and $user->masquerading will be set; this could be displayed via theme.</p><p>In the masquerade settings a list of roles are presented; any checked role is considered an "administrator" and requires the second level "masquerade as admin" permission to masquerade as. User #1 is automatically considered an administrator, regardless of roles.</p>
