Earnie et al ,

Certainly Masquerade works as does devel. I was already aware of those. I'm kind of trying to figure out whether I want admin users to be my special "Admin" (In my case uid=1) or I let them be "Anyone" . I was fully aware that I might be being a bit over the top with regard to this requirement, and I'm beginning to wonder based on this response whether creating such a module might do more harm (in terms of duplication) than good (in terms of reduced feature set).

I wasn't aware of adminrole, and having that brought up made me think this might be better submitted as a patch to that than its own module, but I'm still waffling a bit here.

The real reason that drives me to this though is that you can't apply updates without being uid=1, and that is a particular responsibility I wanted to share amongs admins in my dev shop. I know that I can hack update.php but people keep forgetting to "unhack it", so I was hoping to find a better way.

Sounds like people would rather have some combination temporarily assert adminrole than become uid=1 being separated. I'm going to think this over before creating any more duplication.

Hmm...

This is a terrific idea. I wanted something like that too, a few week ago.


You must have missed my response. See http://drupal.org/project/ masquerade.
