Description

« Hide

When viewing a "student" there is no longer a "login as" button available. Please don't tell me this feature has been removed with the new roles? Even if the roles are no longer predefined, the ability for certain higher level roles to be able to login as a specific lower level role is very important. I use this feature all the time-to troubleshoot problems reported by students, to do certain activities as them due to various problems that arise in the functioning of the course.

Actually, login as still seems to exist (although I'm not sure it is working) but the "login as" button is missing on an individual user's profile page.

Done.

Note the old password feature has gone away, because you can achieve the same thing
in a cleaner way using Roles. Use of the loginas feature is restricted to those with
allowed permissions for the capability: moodle/user:loginas
