 * Is there or could there be some kind of logging of what actions one user takes
   on behalf of another? If one captures Switch and Switch Back timestamps, it seems
   it may be possible to search some events lists or the Woo Order logs for actions
   by that userid in that time window?

 * [@kenlyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kenlyle/) Yep this is possible.
   Take a look through the plugin FAQ, I’ve answered a few questions on this topic
   there. Let me know if you think there’s anything else I should add!

 * Thanks, John. I opened the FAQ, and looked for logging and then log, which has
   only references to login, logout, etc.
 * [Here is a Bard chat](https://g.co/bard/share/0401b0848675) on this topic. Unfortunately,
   I was not able to get the plugin to actually add records to any logging table.
 * Could you possibly review that chat for value, and maybe even implement it, either
   as part of the core plugin, or standalone?

 * John, I have followd that link again, and searched for logging in the page, reviewed
   the one FAQ from the link, and can’t make sense of it.
 * I know that I have seen, somewhere, a list of general WP logging plugins that
   work with User Switching, but can’t locate that list atm.
 * Could you please make it completely simple stupid by posting a FAQ question/answer:
 * What logging plugins work best with User Switching?
