 * Hi,
 * Great plugin 🙂
 * I have a a 2nd user role besides admin that I allow user switching, but when 
   logged in they do not see the admin bar switching option like i do.
 * How can I give them the same ability?
 * Thanks!

 * I have just pushed an update to make sure that the admin bar menu item for switching
   to a user is only added when the user has the `switch_to_user` capability. Previously
   this was done with `is_super_admin()`.
 * This should mean that is a user sees the Switch to link on the users listing 
   screen they should also see it in the admin bar too.

 * By the way, another feature suggestion I have, which I saw on a different plugin,
   would be to make the admin bar always show when you are using the site as a different
   user…. even if its turned of for that user normally.
 * Thanks again!

 * on Multisite an administrator can switch in the backend but in the frontend not.
   In the admin bar there isn´t the option to switch.
