abdullyahuza/filament-impersonate
=================================

Filament Impersonate allows administrators to securely impersonate other users within the Filament admin panel. With a simple "Impersonate" action, admins can log in as another user to troubleshoot issues, test permissions, or preview user-specific content. A visible banner indicates impersonation mode, with an easy one-click return to the original account.

```

---

✅ Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

### Impersonate a user

[](#impersonate-a-user)

1. From the Filament UI, click the impersonation button shown next to user profile (if allowed).
2. You will be logged in as that user.
3. A banner or button will appear indicating impersonation — click it to stop impersonating.

### Stop impersonating

[](#stop-impersonating)

Click the **"Stop Impersonating"** button to return to your original user session.

---

🔐 Permissions
-------------

[](#-permissions)

To restrict who can impersonate users, configure the `can_impersonate_resolver` in your config file.

Example:

```
'can_impersonate_resolver' => fn ($user) => $user?->hasRole('admin') || $user?->can('impersonate_users'),
```

---

💾 Session Management
--------------------

[](#-session-management)

During impersonation, the following is stored in the session:

- Impersonator ID
- Original user roles & permissions (if applicable)

These are restored when impersonation is stopped.

---

🛡️ Notes
--------

[](#️-notes)

- Only users not in `excluded_user_ids` can be impersonated.
- Impersonation only works in environments defined in `allowed_environments`.
- You can customize how user names are displayed using `display_name_resolver`.

---

🧪 Testing
---------

[](#-testing)

Ensure your environment is included in `allowed_environments` for local testing.

```
'allowed_environments' => ['local'],
```
