Magento 2: Get Admin session in frontend

Question

How can i get the admin session in frontend.

   $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
   $adminSession = $objectManager->create('Magento\Security\Model\AdminSessionsManager');
   print_r($adminSession->getCurrentSession()->getStatus());

I tried with above script but no luck!

Maybe you can check this related topic. Magento 2 How to check if Admin Logged on frontend — I. Munoz, Aug 03 '22 at 18:19
If you can provide more details about your goal, I can try to advise with solution. You should understand that admin cookie writes (and allows) only to your backend path and you cannot get it in code on frontend. Possible to create additional cookie in admin for frontend and work with it, but anyway need to understand a goal, maybe possible to implement more nicely solution. — Victor Tihonchuk, Aug 07 '22 at 22:53

}

When the admin is login then its status is going to active and if he/she sign out then its status goes to inactive. and also if the admin user is login and does not have any activity by admin then its status goes to inactive. In the Observer GetActiveAdminStatus.php file you can set your time what you want

how can I get the user session on the frontend if I'm logged in and have access to the admin cookie for the admin user?
Something like ```$user = $this->backendUserModel->getById or getBySessionId()

I want the data equivalent to like what you get here for "user" if using the event vendor/magento/module-backend/Model/Auth.php:169 ```['user' => $this->getCredentialStorage()] — Kevin Chavez, Aug 08 '22 at 06:19
@KevinChavez you can store admin cookie data in the custom_admin_user table by adding a new column. and get them in the front end by using the above code. — Msquare, Aug 08 '22 at 06:43
@KevinChavez you can also add your data into https://nimb.ws/vh6ayo array and get them using Registry. Data must be store into our table. — Msquare, Aug 08 '22 at 06:57

Then create the observer.

class BackendAuthUserLoginSuccess implements ObserverInterface
{
    const DEFAULT_SESSION_NAME_OF_FRONTEND = 'PHPSESSID';
/**
 * (non-PHPdoc)
 * @see \Magento\Framework\Event\ObserverInterface::execute()

public function execute(\Magento\Framework\Event\Observer $observer) {
    if (! isset($_COOKIE[self::DEFAULT_SESSION_NAME_OF_FRONTEND])) return;
    $backSessionId = session_id();
    $frontendSessionId = $_COOKIE[self::DEFAULT_SESSION_NAME_OF_FRONTEND];
    session_write_close();
    session_id($frontendSessionId);
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['admin'] = [$backSessionId];
    session_write_close();
    session_id($backSessionId);
    session_start();
    return;
}

}

protected $_session;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\Model\Context $context,
    \Magento\Backend\Model\Auth\Session $authSession
) {
    $this->_session = $authSession;
    parent::__construct($context);
}

and then call

$this->_session->isLoggedIn()

Note: don't use objectManager directly in the code. Its not proper way to do it in Magento 2.

no luck and \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context instead of \Magento\Framework\Model\Context $context, – Ramesh Sep 28 '17 at 16:02
Does this work? When I try this from frontend controller isLoggedIn returns false, I'm guessing it's because frontend has different session – Kazuki Apr 09 '20 at 05:00
no current answer does not work – Kevin Chavez Aug 03 '22 at 14:29
