Informations about the package laravel-impersonatable-guard
Laravel Impersonatable Guard
This is a guard implementation in Laravel for handling user impersonation. It extends Laravel's SessionGuard and provides additional methods for impersonation-related functionality.
User impersonation is a feature that enables an administrator or privileged user to temporarily assume the identity of another user within the application. This capability proves valuable for troubleshooting, testing user-specific features, or providing support.
Moreover, It supports multiple authentication guards. For example, admin guard users can also impersonate web guard users.
Security Considerations
User impersonation should be used with caution, especially in production environments. It's important to properly authenticate and authorize users before allowing them to impersonate others. Additionally, sensitive actions or pages should be protected from access while in impersonation mode to prevent unauthorized use.
Installation
You can install this package via Composer:
Configuration
Update your authentication configuration to use the ImpersonatableSessionGuard instead of Laravel's default SessionGuard. You need to replace the driver from session to impersonatable.session:
Usage
Impersonate Users
Start impersonating the specified user. This method takes an instance of Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable representing the user to impersonate.
Once Impersonate Users
Temporarily impersonate the specified user for a single request. This method is useful for actions that need to be performed as another user without permanently switching the user context.
Exit Impersonation
Stop impersonating the current user and return to the original user context.
Get Original User
Get the original user that was being impersonated.
Check Currently impersonated state
Check if the guard is currently in an impersonated state.
Protect Impersonation With Middleware
You can use the middleware impersonation.protect to protect your routes against user impersonation. This middleware ensures that users cannot access certain routes while impersonating another user.
Protect with specified guards:
Example Impersonation Controller
Example controller for impersonating users:
Custom Impersonate Guard
You can create custom impersonate guards by implementing Ukeloop\ImpersonatableGuard\Contracts\ImpersonatableGuard.
