Description
With administration menu and devel installed I get the great switch user menu. I plan to have a site with thousands of users. Can I filter which users show up in that menu?
#1
you'd have to ask admin_menu. we do not expose any usernames except in a block which is not used by admin menu AFAIK
#2
admin_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.
#3
What controls if a user "is able to switch"? Don't see it as a permissions.
#4
Ahh, its a devel permissions, but doesn't that permission control who can switch users, not who shows up in the list?
#5
Users 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".
#6
Ok, that would be a great feature.
