Maybe I was dreaming, but I hope not - I thought I was once able to login using my Host account (but it could have been the Admin account for the portal) and then proceed to select an option to login as one of the users on the portal. I thought it was somewhere in the Admin > User Accounts page.

The reason I'm seeking this is because I'm using Catalook and affiliate referalls and I need to update a referral link for each referrer account, which I can't seem to do under the Admin/Host account.

Does anyone know if it is still possible to login as another user and where the option might exist? Im using DNN 4.09.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

If you have DNN PE you can do this with one of the features in PE called user switcher. If you are on community edition this isn't part of CE but there are free modules available that provide this functionality.

Thanks for a quick response Chris.

I managed to find a couple of user switchers on Snowcovered, but they require the users password. I was expecting that logging in as Admin/Host you could 'assume' the standard users account.

Maybe I was dreaming then :-)

Thanks again,
Paul
