Why Another Super User Cannot Be Impersonated

Why Another Super User Cannot Be Impersonated is a deliberate QCUI 1.0.03 behavior that protects administrator access, target-account safety, or the integrity of the one-time impersonation handoff.

Current rule

QCUI rejects every target for which Joomla authorizes core.admin.

Security reason

Use normal authorized administrator authentication for privileged-account testing rather than creating an impersonated Super User frontend.

Verification

Confirm the target really has core.admin; keep privileged-account testing in normal administrator authentication rather than stripping privileges to make QCUI accept it.

Do not bypass Joomla account state

Why Another Super User Cannot Be Impersonated should be resolved through normal Joomla user/ACL administration. QCUI deliberately refuses to impersonate accounts that Joomla or QCUI currently considers unsafe/ineligible; changing database flags or handcrafting a token would remove the controls the support workflow depends on.
