Features

Basic Functionality

Domain Masquerade enables administrators and content managers to temporarily "switch" to viewing the site as if they were visiting from a different domain, all while staying on the current URL. The active domain context changes but the browser's address bar remains unchanged.

Unique Features

  • Session-based domain switching - The masquerade state persists across page loads within your browser session
  • Domain Switcher block - A ready-to-use block displays all active domains as clickable links
  • Admin route protection - Administration pages always use the real domain to prevent accidental configuration issues
  • Automatic validation - Invalid masquerade states (deleted or disabled domains) are automatically cleared
  • Decorator pattern integration - Seamlessly integrates with Domain module's negotiator service

Use Cases

  • Content Management: Preview domain-specific content, blocks, and menu items without leaving your current domain
  • QA Testing: Verify domain-based access controls and visibility rules in a single browser session
  • Development: Debug multi-domain issues without switching browser profiles or hosts files
  • Training: Demonstrate how the site appears to visitors on different domains

Post-Installation

  1. Configure permissions at /admin/people/permissions:
    • Grant the "Masquerade as any domain" permission to trusted roles (administrators, content managers). This permission is marked as restricted for
      security.
  2. Place the Domain Masquerade Switcher block:
    • Navigate to /admin/structure/block
    • Find the "Domain Masquerade Switcher" block and place it in a visible region (toolbar, sidebar, etc.)
    • The block only appears to users with the masquerade permission
  3. Using the switcher:
    • Click any domain name in the block to view the site as that domain
    • The currently active domain is shown in bold
    • Click "Clear masquerade" to return to the real domain based on your URL

No configuration page is required—the module works immediately after enabling and placing the block.

Additional Requirements

  • Drupal core: 10.3 or higher, or Drupal 11
  • Domain module: Required for multi-domain functionality
