    Greetings,

    I have a somewhat thorny problem with a clients site and I haven’t been able to find much info on a solution so I thought I would try here.

    Long story short, I have a membership based site that is run by an administrator. Occasionally, the admin needs to log in as a member and adjust things that they may have done incorrectly.

    As you all know, the control panel already allows an admin to log in as any user they want. The problem is that my client refuses to use the admin site because she says it’s too confusing (yes, I know that’s stupid but clients aren’t always rational).

    I’ve created a dashboard using Safecracker that allows her to do everything she needs without ever logging into the admin but the one thing I can’t figure out is how to allow her to log in as a member without going into the control panel.

    Is it even possible to surface this function on the front-end using Safecracker? If so, has anyone done it? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated as this client is driving me up the wall.

    Thanks in advance.
