Description
User Tools adds missing features to user management, such as basic user activities, including last login, registration dates and user switch from the User administration screen. You can deactivate users without deleting them, allowing you to maintain your ownership of past user activity and content.
SECURITY
Disabled user
Your own user or the first created used cannot be disabled. Disabled user will not lost data or be deleted under any circumstances.
User switching
Only users with the ability to edit other users can switch user accounts. Unless you create new roles with this capabilities, this is only Administrators on single site installations, and Super Admins on Multisite installations.
Passwords are not (and cannot be) revealed.
Uses the cookie authentication system in WordPress for user switching.
Implements the nonce security system in WordPress, meaning only those who intend to switch users can switch.
Full support for user session validation where appropriate.
Full support for administration over SSL (if applicable).
** REST API Support **
The field last_login is included as a result in endpoint wp/v2/users/.
Filtering the endpoint wp/v2/users/ using parameter last_login is also supported.

FAQ
-
Will this plugin deactivate all users login by default?
-
No. All users will remain active by default. You select what users do you want to deactivate.
-
Last Login dates will be displayed as soon as I activate User Tools?
-
No. WordPress does not have that information. It’s introduced with the plugin so will be tracked as soon as you enable it. However, we are working to have the last activity of the user available as soon as the plugin is activated, even if the user has not logged in yet.
