A Laravel package that lets authenticated users (typically admins) impersonate other users of the application with a single method call or route. It provides a trait for user models, route macros, middleware, events, and Blade directives to manage impersonation sessions.

Use cases

• impersonate a user to debug their account issues
• log in as another user to reproduce a reported bug
• let support staff view the app as a specific customer
• add one-click 'login as user' functionality to an admin panel
• restrict which users can impersonate others with authorization rules
• support multi-guard impersonation for admin and web sessions

When to choose

• you run a Laravel app and need admin user-impersonation for support or debugging
• you want a battle-tested package with route macros, middleware, and events out of the box
• you need fine-grained control over who can impersonate whom

When to avoid

• you are not using Laravel or PHP
• you need session-independent token-based impersonation for APIs rather than web sessions
• your security policy forbids admins from accessing user accounts
