Add exemption api to allow a Masquerade module exemption

Created on 19 December 2015, about 9 years ago

Updated 31 May 2024, 7 months ago

Problem/Motivation

I usually install the masquerade module on my sites to allow me to become other users when they need certain kinds of support.

Is there any way to bypass legal when I masquerading as a user? If the user I'm switching to is not up to date on their waiver, it forces me to agree to it on their behalf. Even worse, it loses knowledge that I'm a masqueraded user and I don't get the links to switch back to myself (usually in the navigation menu or a block)

Steps to reproduce

Install the Masquerade module.
Update the legal text.
Masquerade as a user.
Notice you're now logged out and masquerade is essentially broken.

Proposed resolution

Add an API to allow a module to declare a circumstance where a legal module requirement might be exempt.

Instead of exempting based on some arbitrary rule, can we add a hook that allows a module developer to define the circumstance?
