Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
This plugin allows you to quickly swap between user roles in WordPress at the click of a button. You’ll be instantly switched to the new user role. This is handy for test environments where you regularly log out and in between different accounts, or for administrators who need to switch between multiple accounts to test the feature in different user roles.
Features
Switch Role To: Instantly switch to any user role from the admin bar at top.
Switch back: Instantly switch back to your originating role.
Compatible with WordPress, WordPress Multisite, WooCommerce.
Security
Only users with the ability to edit other users can switch user roles. By default this is only Administrators on single site installations, and Super Admins on Multisite installations.
Usage
Once plugin is activated, you will see Switch Role To in the top admin bar.
Clicking this will bring the list of user roles available in the system.
Click on any user role you want to test as.
You can switch back to your originating user role via the Switch back link on the top admin bar.
