Locked Users

Locked Users

Certain user accounts can be locked from being switched to, regardless of the switcher's role level or grant permissions.

Navigate to Users → Edit User → SwitchGuard and toggle Prevent Switching to This User.

Behaviour for Locked Users

Locked users:

  • Do not appear in the floating button search results.
  • Do not show a Switch to link in the user list.
  • Cannot be targeted by per-user grants.
  • Return a permission error if a switch is attempted programmatically.

Use Case: Lock the primary owner account of a WooCommerce store so agency staff cannot accidentally switch to it and make irreversible changes.
