Opening and Closing the Impersonate User Popup

Opening and Closing the Impersonate User Popup explains the current QCUI 1.0.03 behavior and how it affects a Super User who needs to inspect the Joomla frontend as an eligible user.

Location: Joomla Administrator.

Procedure

  1. Click Impersonate User to open the popup.
  2. Click outside the popup, press Escape, or activate the trigger again to close it.
  3. Use Enter or Space while the trigger has keyboard focus to open/close without a mouse.
  4. When opened, the username field receives focus automatically.

Verify the result

  • The original administrator tab remains authenticated.
  • The new tab either reaches the target frontend or displays a specific eligibility/token error.
  • The target is visibly identified when impersonation succeeds.

Operational context

For Opening and Closing the Impersonate User Popup, remember that QCUI has no separate component dashboard or remote authorization service. The System plugin owns the launcher/handoff/banner behavior locally inside Joomla. If what you see differs from these instructions, verify the installed plugin version and active Joomla template/session configuration before assuming another QCUI screen or service exists.
