Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Love the module.
The "Current Anonymous/Authenticated Users" feature (people icon in upper right corner of toolbar) erroneously shows a list of users. [I am assuming that this is intended to display _only_ the current users online.] And, often does not currently show users online, such as me.
Is there someplace to reset this list? Or, does a later dev version 'correct' this?
I would appreciate the convenience of a quick admin go-to for viewing all online users.

sunThis has been fixed in 3.x already and won't be backported to 1.x.

greta_drupal commentedHey, I'm all about upgrading. Is 3.x ready for prime time? Stable for production sites?
Comment #3
greta_drupal commentedWhich version? I tried the 3.xalpha and it did not resolve the issue. If only the dev version corrects, is this version stable for live site?
Comment #4
greta_drupal commentedOkay, I have tried the dev version and still no correction there.

sunI'm not entirely sure what the actual "bug report" in here is. Please elaborate.
Comment #6
greta_drupal commentedWell, I thought that I explain it pretty clearly, but here goes again:
When you mouseover the icon of people (/user), the list shows 'random' users -- not those users currently logged in, as I would assume that it should. I really don't care to see anything else. So, if it is not designed to do that, is there any way to disable that feature of the menu. One of my sites shows a list 20+ deep - none of whom are users logged in, or even have logged in.

sunI can only guess that you are referring to the "switch user" list that only appears in combination with Devel module. This list contains users you can switch to and is not related to the online user counter. The latest code therefore expands this user list below the current/own username in the menu (and no longer on the user counter).
Hope that clarifies it.

greta_drupal commentedYes, at least with the dev module, it does not appear twice in the same small corner space.
Care to share a code line reference to disable? (For a site hundreds of users, it is pretty annoying.)
A "who is online" list would be a nice feature, however.
Comment #9
sunYou can disable that switch user list by revoking Devel module's "switch user" user permission on the regular permissions page.
More granular handling is investigated in #293768: Allow to enable/disable menu additions, but there is no progress so far.
