Add following code to your user model:

    }
```

Add following code to your routes file:

    Route::get('users/{id}/impersonate', function ($id) {
        \Auth::user()->setImpersonating($id);
        return redirect()->back();
    });
    Route::get('users/stop-impersonate', function () {
        \Auth::user()->stopImpersonating();

];
