Ability to create a "Masquerade as <role>" link that triggers change.

Hi Tregonia,

Thanks for your ticket.
I'll look into this, but I can't promise if and when this could be released.

Kind regards,

Hi Tregonia,

I've pushed a first attempt to the 1.0.x-dev version of this module.

It generates a URL with a uuid. This uuid is stored in the key_value table, and fetched when navigating to the generated URL.
You can choose which roles should be included and whether that key needs to be destroyed upon usage (single use vs multi use URLs).

Feel free to give it a try, see how it feels and report back with your findings.
If the functionality feels well and complete, I'll release it in a new version of the module.

Kind regards,

RandalV

Oops. Only saw afterwards that you want to automatically generate it, and not manually by submitting the form.

The last commit on 1.0.x-dev should contain that functionality in the RoleManager service.

\Drupal\msqrole\RoleManagerInterface::generateUrl(array $roles, bool $single_usage = FALSE, array $url_options = []): Url
The arguments are all self explanatory.
Url options you could use to add a destination to the query parameter or something like that.

Example usage:

\Drupal::service('msqrole.manager')->generateUrl(['editor', 'visitor'], FALSE, [
  'query' => [
    'destination' => '/path/to/page',
  ],
];

@Tregonia feel free to take it for a spin and see how it feels.

Either way this will probably be committed in the next release, but I'd rather someone test it out first.

I'm closing this issue, it's been committed to the next release and it seems to work fine.
