User Grants

User Grants

Grant specific non-admin users permission to switch to a defined set of target users.

Navigate to Users → Edit User → SwitchGuard Grants (visible on any user profile page when Pro is active).

Setting Up a Grant

Open the user's profile

Open the profile page of the user you want to grant switching ability to (e.g., a Shop Manager).

Add a grant

In the SwitchGuard Grants box, click Add Grant.

Select target users

Select the user(s) this person is permitted to switch to.

Save the profile

Save the user profile to persist the grant.

Grants are stored as user meta. The grantee does not need the edit_users capability - SwitchGuard checks grants independently.

Use Case: Allow a support team member (Subscriber role) to switch to their own assigned customers, without granting full admin access.
