Django view site as different user from admin without knowing / resetting password

Is there a way in Django for an admin to view the site as a different user.

This can be used to debug custom errors.

Since we don't know the password, the only solution I have found is to reset the password from djangoadmin and log in for that user.

This functionality is not built into django, fortunately, like many such cases, the community can help.

django-hijack

does what you need:



django-hijack allows superusers to hijack (= login as) and run as a different user.
