Kingsman How To: Sign in as another user if you are an admin
The ability to mimic or sign in as another user is a useful administration feature. Here’s how you can can quickly “become” one of the users to see what their profile and screens look like.
class Admin::UsersController < AdminController
def become
return unless current_user.admin?
user_params = params.require(:user).permit(:id)
mimic_user = User.find(user_params[:id])
bypass_sign_in(mimic_user, scope: :user)
redirect_to root_url
end
end
