but i want to know how we can enable this feature for all users to impersonate each other thankyou

Hello,

Administrator can impersonate other users, but the reverse is not allowed.

If you want to implement this, you can refer to the following link and apply the logic to your custom app:

Note: This is risky as it may lead to security breaches, allowing anyone to change other users’ data.

3

yes for that we have activity logs and also we have send notification to other users

4

should i just use this script ?

5

there is no such directory in my app???

6

i have my custom app but this settting is avalible in the frappe core file will it still take effect if i make changes to that

7

Yes, In your custom app just use condition like

if (frappe.session.user != "Administrator" && frm.doc.name != "Administrator")

change according to your requirement

create user.js file and add this:

frappe.ui.form.on("User", {
  refresh: function (frm) {
    if (
			frappe.session.user !== "Administrator" &&
			frm.doc.name !== "Administrator" &&
			frm.doc.name !== frappe.session.user
    ) {
      frm.add_custom_button(__("Impersonate"), () => {
        if (frm.doc.restrict_ip) {
          frappe.msgprint({
            message:
              "There's IP restriction for this user, you can not impersonate as this user.",
            title: "IP restriction is enabled",
          });
          return;
        }
        frappe.prompt(
          [
            {
              fieldname: "reason",
              fieldtype: "Small Text",
              label: "Reason for impersonating",
              description: __("Note: This will be shared with user."),
              reqd: 1,
            },
          ],
          (values) => {
            frappe
              .xcall("frappe.core.doctype.user.user.impersonate", {
                user: frm.doc.name,
                reason: values.reason,
              })
              .then(() => window.location.reload());
          },
          __("Impersonate as {0}", [frm.doc.name]),
          __("Confirm")
        );
      });
    }
  },
});

then add this file path to hooks.py in doctype_js

Exmaple:

doctype_js = {
    "User": "YOUR_MODULE/client_overrides/user.js",
}

In your app’s module. You can create any folder like client_overrides in that you can add this.
