EffectIO Customer Switching for WooCommerce 2.1.3

Description:

Customer Switching for WooCommerce, version 2.1.3, is a plugin that changes how certain users can move between accounts on a WooCommerce store. When the plugin is activated, it creates a new role on the site. Users who belong to this role can then switch between other users while they are logged in on the front-end. The plugin is described as a great way for letting users control other users' accounts.

The role created at activation is the core of how the plugin works. Membership in that role is what gives a user the switching ability, so the feature is tied to a specific group of users rather than being available to everyone on the site. Once a user belongs to the role, that user can switch between other users. The switching takes place on the front-end of the store, which means the user performs it while logged in on the site itself, in the same area customers normally use.

The stated purpose of the plugin is to let users control other users' accounts. Switching between users is the mechanism behind this: a user who belongs to the new role can move into another user's account and control it from there. Because the switching happens on the front-end, this account control takes place in the same environment where the store's normal customer activity happens. The plugin ties the two ideas together, so the ability to switch and the ability to control another user's account come as one feature.

B2b based commerce sites are named as an example of where this plugin fits. In a b2b setting, letting users control other users' accounts is presented as a good match for how the site works. For stores of that kind, the role created by the plugin marks out the users who can switch between other users on the front-end. Taken together, the plugin offers a new role, front-end switching between users, and control over other users' accounts, with b2b commerce named as the setting where this combination is useful.
