Super cool tool that works a charm
Thank you for this tool. It's very handy. I use it to switch to customer accounts in order to load orders for them. Certain of my customers have different pricing. so this allows me to load an order with their pricing applied. I would like to be able to configure the admin dashboard feature to only show a particular user profile subset. other than this it is very good as it is.

Very Useful ✔
Very useful plugin. In my case I'm using it with a B2B solution to make orders for my clients. In the future would be great if we could manage the users that are showed in the switching dropdown. Best Regards
