Django authentication backend allowing admins to login as another user
Project description
.
Django Act As Auth Backend
Django authentication backend that allows one to login as someone else (an existing Django user allowed to login) without having to know their password.
Great for customer support and testing scenarios!
Quickstart
Install djactasauth:
pip install djactasauth
Add it to your auth backends in settings:
import djactasauth AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( ..., 'djactasauth.backends.OnlySuperuserCanActAsModelBackend', ..., )
Configure the custom login view to take advantage of all the features in your urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url from djactasauth.views import act_as_login_view from testapp.views import whoami urlpatterns = patterns( '', url(r'^login/$', act_as_login_view, {}, 'login'), )
Then you can log in with username your_superuser_name/customer and password yourpassword.
