I've heard this referred to as having a "ghost user" account. Basically a 
generic account that you, as an administrator, can change the attributes 
on. For instance, application A requires email address as an attribute. Set 
the ghost_user1 email address to the email address of the user you are 
trying to impersonate. Of course this raises ethical/policy questions, 
which you also need to address before putting something like this into 
practice. There's also the issue of non-repudiation. If I know that Brian 
has a method for logging into an application as me, I can log in and do 
nasty things, then say Brian logged in as me and did it.
