How to impersonate your mySites.guru team members

How to impersonate your mySites.guru team members

After announcing Team Management for mySites.guru, we added impersonation - one of the most useful features for account owners running a team.

Impersonate your team members

As the Team Captain (the person paying), you can log in as any team member without their credentials, to access their account and see exactly what they are seeing. Exit Impersonation returns you to your own account without any login or logout.

For a deeper look at Teams Management, watch this video by Tim:

Impersonation works on every team member role, including the Accountant Portal if you ever need to see exactly what your bookkeeper sees.


Team tools like this are covered in our agency management guide.

No - the Team Captain can switch into a member's account and exit back to their own account without any login or logout, and without knowing the member's password.

I have been a mySites.guru customer since February 2014, and I now look after more than a hundred Joomla sites through it. Twelve years on, it is still the first place I look whenever something feels off. What makes it work is not just the scanning. It is the judgement built into it. The vulnerable extension alerts do not simply say "update this". They explain what the flaw actually does, whether an attacker needs to log in first, and exactly which version closes it. That is what cracked a case for me recently. The platform pointed out that a critical plugin on a client site was a hidden dependency, installed automatically in the background by another extension. The client had never chosen it and had no idea it was there. Nothing else I use would have told me that. The tools show the same care. Separating "100% certain hacked" from "suspect patterns" is exactly the right distinction, and it stops you frightening a client with a number that turns out to be ordinary software. The "executables only" filter on the core folder check took a list of 250 files down to 13 in a single click. And being able to read a file in the built-in editor before deleting it is a small thing that matters enormously. Then there is Phil. Sharp, quick to respond, and still clearly invested in the details after all these years. That combination is rare. Thank you, Phil. Genuinely.

mySites.guru has become one of the most valuable tools in my WordPress security toolkit. It helped me identify rogue administrator accounts that would otherwise have gone completely unnoticed and provided insights that standard monitoring tools missed. The platform is easy to use, provides actionable information, and gives confidence that potential security problems can be spotted early. For agencies, developers, and website owners who manage WordPress sites, I can highly recommend mySites.guru.
