FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package login-as
Important
With Neos 8.0 this package became part of the core. So just use it with Neos 7.3 or below.
LoginAs package
With this Neoscms package it is possible to change the identity of the logged in user. It has certainly happened that an editor has called you and described an error that they themselves can not understand.
With this package you can extend your neos so that you can simply log in as this user. Completely without resetting passwords.
Thanks :heart:
The package is based on a pull request from Dominique Feyer (@dfeyer). We are thankful for the basis. The customization of the Neos backend was sponsored by the VisionConnect GmbH agency. I hereby thank you very much for the financial support and for the permission to open source the whole adjustment.
Installation
The --no-update command prevents the automatic update of the dependencies. After the package was added to your theme composer.json, go back to the root of the Neos installation and run composer update. Your desired package is now installed correctly.
Usage
The package can be used in three different ways. The easiest and probably most common way is to use it in the Neos backend.
Neos Backend
For this, you only have to log in to the Neos backend as an administrator and can then select another user in the user management. Since the users can have different permissions on modules, the page is reloaded and you are redirected to the default module of the user.
You can now act as this user. When your work is done you can open the user menu on the top right and authenticate as yourself again with the "Back to user" button.
Again, the page will reload and you will find yourself in the user's default module. It could be a possible feature in the future to have this behavior configurable.
The user menu has been extended in two places. In the content module, the new React UI is almost always used. For this, a plugin is included to extend the menu. However, in most of the backend modules, there is no React component yet. Therefore, the menu is adapted here again extra.
If you are still using the old EmberJS based UI, you will not automatically have the "Switch back" button in the content module. For this please have a look at the Troubeshot section!
Controller actions
Now, of course, it may be that the backend is not of interest to them at all. For example, because they have built up a community and have so-called front-end users for this. Here, too, it can sometimes be useful if you can log in as another user.
For this case we provide ControllerActions.
- impersonate: arguments
account[Account] - restore
- status
With the help of these actions you can customize your application to search for users and then pass the found account as a parameter to the impersonateAction.
Endpoints
In the third variant, you can use the function provided from the backend. The backend uses routes that are provided by the package.
These routes provide API endpoints and can be used with a small JavaScript package.
If you are not in the backend you have to define your own routes. You may also need to adjust the policies for the impersonate action (if you don't use an administrator). For the routes it could look like this.
If everything is configured correctly, you should receive a JSON response for the status endpoint, for example.
To make things a bit easier in the JavaScript application you can use the API services from the backend. For this you can install the following package.
In your own application you only have to import the ApiService and pass the appropriate base-uri and a CSFR token to the service.
Configuration
If you use Variant 2 with the predefined controller actions, you can configure where you want to be forwarded after a change of the user. You can define redirections in case a user is logged in or restored.
This does not work for the other options yet!
Contribution
We'd love you to contribute to LoginAs. We try to make it as easy as possible. We are using semantic versioning to have more time to concentrate on important stuff instead of struggling in the dependency or release hell.
Therefore the first rule is to follow the eslint commit message guideline.
It is really easy if you always commit via yarn commit. Commitizen will guide you.
All PRs will be merged into the master branch. Travis and semantic release will check the commit messages and start building a new release when the analysis of the latest commits will trigger that.
If you have questions just ping us on Twitter or Github.
