# Front End Button

 * You won’t be able to view the page so I’ve attached some screen shots that I 
   believe will be helpful.
 * I’ve built a front end for my Editors to be able to impersonate Subscribers (
   Groups) by clicking a button on the front end. The ‘Groups’ page screen shot 
   illustrates the concept. I attempted to create a plugin that doesn’t work as 
   you can see from the screenshots. Yes, I used AI.
 * Can you add this functionality to the plugin or can you offer some guidance on
   my plugin?

 * Unfortunately I can’t help too much with this sort of custom development, it 
   would be a full time job for me. Two pointers though:
    1. [Take a look at the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/#can%20i%20add%20a%20custom%20%22switch%20to%22%20link%20to%20my%20own%20plugin%20or%20theme%3F),
       I’ve answered some questions there about which PHP functions to use in order
       to create your own switch link
    2. There’s a third party plugin that extends User Switching called [Admin Bar User Switching](https://wordpress.org/plugins/admin-bar-user-switching/),
       this might be of use too.
 * Good luck!
