This is a simple mod that allows admins/moderators to view the inventories for players by using the /inv <player> command. I'd previously written an even simpler version that uses formspecs, but there is a bug in the Minetest engine that doesn't allow it to work for other players' inventories. So, in the meantime, this is a text version.

You could do a workaround with a temporary detached inventory, fill it stack by stack.

I dont know if it works, but Zeg9 has something similar on github, maybe it can help.
it uses minetest.register_privilege("invsee","See other's inventories")
