Implement impersonate functionality for a super user.

Cristhian Caldas asked on October 13, 2016 00:58

Hello:

I need to implement in my CMS site a super user wich can exchange users for navigate along the site even executing the checkout process in a shopping cart. I saw in CMS Admin page the impersonate option for displaying the site according to the selected user (https://docs.kentico.com/display/K8/Impersonating+a+different+user).

Is there exist any Kentico API method for implement the impersonate funtionality, or exist the option of enable the impersonate for an user (in my case for a super user)?

Thanks.

It's CMS.Membership.AuthenticationHelper.ImpersonateUser method:

public static void ImpersonateUser(
    UserInfo ui,
    string redirectionUrl = null,
    bool forceRedirect = true
)
