Allows creating content as somebody else

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Authorize others to post on your behalf
- Create content on somebody else's behalf

Developers
----------

[](#developers)

To get your plugin to support Post As register an event handler for `config` `post_as`

The result is an array in the format:

```
$result[
	'' => [
		'type' => '',
		'subtype' => '',
		'action' => '', // defaults to ''
		'extend_form' => true|false, // defaults to true, set to false if the form already contains the post_as/input view
	],
];
```
