Multi-User 1-Click Login Selection

Core Requests (Dashboard/Child)

Current Issue: MainWP's 1-click passwordless login feature currently only logs users in with the administrator credentials that were used to establish the initial site connection. All team members using the 1-click login are logged in as the same administrator account, regardless of who is accessing the site.

Requested Feature: Add the ability to select different user identities when using the 1-click login feature from the MainWP Dashboard. This would allow team members to choose which user account they want to log in as on each child site, similar to the functionality provided by Glow.

Benefits: This would enable proper user accountability, individual access tracking, and allow team members to work under their own user credentials while still maintaining the convenience of 1-click access through the MainWP Dashboard.

    Still needed, have been evaluating MainWP and losing per-user tracking is likely a dealbreaker. This is the sole missing feature keeping me from confidently adopting MainWP.

    Yes this is needed, and I thought it was already a setting somewhere. Because we cant trace user actions we have to stop using mainwp as a central access point and only use it for maintenance, which can be done through WP CLI for us in most cases.

    One thing to add is that the account you set for each team member should allow for any user role on the child websites. Manage WP does this very well, they should adopt their solution. For each team member you have the option to set which wordpress user account they login as for the child websites.

    So for example, I can set TeamMember1 to login as team1@email.com on all the child websites. I just need to make sure this user account exists on all the child websites they have access to. This gives me the control to set which user role they have because I can make that wordpress user an editor on all the child websites.

    The benefits:

    • Can easily see which account made changes on the child websites.

    • Can control what role team members have when logging in to the child websites.
