If you are using Auth you may want to be able to impersonate a
different user without logout and without resetting all your session
variables.
This is how you can do it
#optonal: @auth.requires_permission
('impersonate',auth.table_user,request.args[0] if request.args else 0)
def impersonate():
""" usage http://..../impersonate/[id] """
auth.original_user = auth.user
auth.user = auth.table_user._filter_fields(auth.table_user
[request.args[0]],True)
return dict()
def un_impersonate():
if auth.original_user:
auth.user = auth.original_user
auth.original_user = None
return dict()
You can already do this. Should we make it easier and make them
methods of the Auth class?
