Grant one user full control over another user’s account in a custom plugin
-
I’m writing a NodeBB plugin and need to let User A inherit all of User B’s permissions, including:
-
Creating topics and replies on their behalf
-
Changing their password
-
Chatting as them
-
Editing or deleting their existing posts
In other words, I want two linked accounts so that logging in as User A gives full control over User B’s account. What’s the best way to implement this in my plugin?
I tried going through all the permission hooks but didn’t find anything suitable.
Appreciate any help—thanks!

I’m stuck halfway through creating a NodeBB plugin and could really use your expertise. I’m on a tight deadline and it’s quite urgent—would you be able to lend me a hand?Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide.

AMAARETS I think all you really need to do is have your plugin change req.session.uid and req.uid to the target uid.
Although in practice there might be some cases I did not consider.
