moshe weitzman commentedyou'd have to ask admin_menu. we do not expose any usernames except in a block which is not used by admin menu AFAIK
Comment #2
sunadmin_menu uses the same user list that Devel uses for its block. Those users are ordered by whether a user is able to switch, followed by any other users.
However, I always wanted to expand this integration by exposing an autocomplete widget (the first real widget) that allows you to search and switch to a certain user.
Hence, better title.

agerson commentedWhat controls if a user "is able to switch"? Don't see it as a permissions.
Comment #4
agerson commentedAhh, its a devel permissions, but doesn't that permission control who can switch users, not who shows up in the list?
Comment #5
sunUsers in the switch user list are ordered by that permission first, yes. As of now, I don't think you can affect who shows up in that list. Anyway, an autocomplete widget is the only solution for your "thousands of users".
Comment #6
agerson commentedOk, that would be a great feature.

truls1502I am sorry for no reply until now.
There are many issues regarding this module admin_menu which is a bit difficult for us to follow up since some of the issues might be already outdated, or is already fixed by the module or any other modules or itself core which means that the problem might no longer need to be fixed.
We can see that the issue has been created for a few years ago, I hope it is okay for you that I am postponing the issue, and give you around two weeks. If you still face the problem, could you tell us the step by step when until you get the error message or what is frustrated you, and a list of modules you are using related to admin_menu and a screenshot that might help us? So it makes us easier to reproduce your issue.
However, after two weeks with no feedback - we will close this issue. So in case, you noticed it after the issue is closed, do not hesitate to reopen it like and fill information which is mentioned above.
So before giving us a feedback, do you mind to test it again with our latest 7.x-3.x-dev?
Thank you for understanding! :)
