This plugin is not meant to help you spy on your users. The purpose of this plugin is to fill a gap in Elgg's admin features and help admins maintain a quality site by performing some actions as a different user. For example, if a user flags a message in his internal mailbox, there is no easy way for the admin user to view that message. This plugin is also to help troubleshoot user-specific bugs. Sometimes it's easier to see exactly what the user is seeing when troubleshooting. Once logged in as a user, everything you do will show up like you are that user. Be careful.
