    Description

      The objective of this feature is to provide a way for superadmins to browse the web site as if they were another user. This allows to better identify issues specifically with rights that user have without the need for their password.

      The feature would be configured in xwiki.cfg in order to not be a "privacy" hole without admins having a clear knowledge of it's existance.
