Fast Backend User Switch (TYPO3 Extension `beuser_fastswitch`)
==============================================================

[](#fast-backend-user-switch-typo3-extension-beuser_fastswitch)

> The `beuser_fastswitch` extension provides a very easy backend user switch for TYPO3 CMS administrator users.

What does it do?
----------------

[](#what-does-it-do)

### With just two mouse clicks you can

[](#with-just-two-mouse-clicks-you-can)

- Switch to another backend user
- Edit another backend user (in a new tab)
- Show user info of a specific backend user (in a modal)

### It provides an AJAX based search

[](#it-provides-an-ajax-based-search)

You can search users by **`realName`**, **`username`**, **`email`** or **unique ID `uid`**.

### Ordering of listed users

[](#ordering-of-listed-users)

The results are always ordered by `lastlogin DESC`. Since this speeds up also the support if some editor is calling you that something isn't working. You can then easily switch to the backend user without searching for it in the TYPO3 backend user module.

### User list item features

[](#user-list-item-features)

- Trigger contextmenu of backend user record (by clicking on the avatar/icon)
- Edit backend user record (by clicking on the username or realName)
- Show element information popup (by clicking on the Info-Button)
- Switch to the backend user (by clicking on the Switch-Button)
