This extension adds a "Log in as user" button on user profiles for administrators and others who are granted the permission.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install manually:

```
composer require fof/impersonate:"*"
```

Updating
--------

[](#updating)

```
composer update fof/impersonate
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

You can configure which groups can impersonate users by going to *Permissions > Login as other users*. Use with caution, as anybody with that permission can easily access the private data of every user on the forum. **non-admins cannot impersonate an admin account, for security reasons.**
