Part of the [MuTMS suite](https://github.com/mutms). Allows administrators and privileged users to log in with a low-privilege account and switch to a privileged session only when needed — similar to sudo on Linux. Privileged sessions can be protected with existing MFA factors for additional security. Features -------- [](#features) - Low-privilege daily accounts with on-demand privilege escalation - Configurable roles and contexts per privileged user - Optional MFA verification before starting a privileged session - Useful for working around bugs that appear when a user holds both teacher and student roles in the same course Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) 1. Log in as admin 2. Go to Site administration / Users / Permissions / Privileged users 3. Press Add privileged user 4. Select the user to grant sudo access 5. Define the roles and contexts where the user will have privileged access 6. Optionally enforce MFA for additional security Starting a privileged session ----------------------------- [](#starting-a-privileged-session) 1. Log in with your regular low-privilege account 2. Click the user menu in the top right 3. Select Start privileged session 4. Press Continue or supply your MFA verification code 5. End the privileged session once your management tasks are complete Known limitations ----------------- [](#known-limitations) - This plugin uses the Switch role feature internally — course-level privileges appear as "Switched roles" in the Moodle UI Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) > This plugin is included in the [MuTMS distribution](https://github.com/mutms/mutms) — no manual installation needed if you use the distribution. Required plugins: - [Additional tools library plugin](https://github.com/mutms/moodle-tool_mulib) Documentation ------------- [](#documentation) See [online documentation](https://docs.mutms.org/musudo/) for more information. --- > MuTMS is an independent open-source project, not affiliated with Moodle HQ. ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 83% of packages Maintenance92 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity7 Limited adoption so far Community8 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity40 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
