In the app I'm working on we would like to have 'manager' (role) users who would do actions and appear to the app just as if they were the user they are managing (effective UID) - except I'd log their actions with their real user id. I'd also need these manager users to be logged in concurrently with users they may be managing without secondarily affecting them (which may mean I can't mess around in the session??).
[These manager users would also have a menu of other actions specific to their role that would not be interested in effective id.] I like the Authen/Authz plugins and have made wide use of them and $c->user and I would like to keep doing that (or be informed if that is not the current vogue). I have not seen this obviously implemented elsewhere. I may have a fair bit of other work before I will get to this but thought it would be best to ask early. So. Any strategies or pointers for doing this? Have I seriously missed this somewhere?
