Hi,

I remember reading something about this a while back, but I can't seem to relocate the thread.

The issue is as follows: An admin wants to be able to appear as another user (in essence, logging in as that user without providing a password) in order to perform certain tasks as that user.

Can anyone point me to the thread where this was discussed or, even better, let me know if anyone has accomplished something like this.

Thanks in advance !

Sincerely,

Hi Erik,
http://www.ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/user_change_modul_similar_to_the_su_command_under_linux
is possibly what you remember.
Looks to be an old suggestion and I havent seen any reference of it actually implemented.
