*Bas les masques !* plugin for Craft CMS 3.x & 4.x
======================================================

[](#bas-les-masques--plugin-for-craft-cms-3x--4x)

Helps you detect if a user is being impersonated and get the originally signed-in user.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.6.0 or later (might work with earlier 3.x versions, but I didn't test it, and you'll need to tweak the composer.json).

Starting with version 2.0.0, this plugin requires Craft 4.0.0 or later.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
     cd /path/to/project

    ```
2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    ```
     composer require nstcactus/craft-bas-les-masques

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for *Bas les masques !*.
