Where the Impersonate User Control Appears

Where the Impersonate User Control Appears 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.

Normal placement

For authenticated Super Users, QCUI injects a plain-text Impersonate User control into Joomla Administrator’s top status area. Under Atum it is inserted into the header-items container without modifying template files.

Custom-template fallback

If that Atum marker is not present, QCUI appends a fixed-position fallback control near the top-right of the administrator viewport. The goal is to keep the launcher available without requiring a template override.

Visibility rule

Non-Super-Users never receive this injected control. If the control is missing for a Super User, check plugin state and loaded assets before editing administrator template files.

Operational context

For Where the Impersonate User Control Appears, 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.
