Another solution would be to use the built-in RBAC to set access; allotting a group to each user.
Then to provide the same access as that user to another user, simply add that second user to the first users' group. Finally for a non-db solution you could just throw information into the session, so instead of "if auth.user.id==<>" have "if session.vars.auth_user_id_array[0]==<>" On Sun, Sep 16, 2012 at 4:05 PM, Martin Weissenboeck <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you, I will try it. > Maybe there is a solution without a db-table? > > > 2012/9/16 Alan Etkin <[email protected]> >> >> I'd add a sentry function in the model to record each usage in a table >> >> def pseudo_impersonate(impersonate arguments): >> db.impersonation.insert(impersonator=auth.user_id) >> auth.<impersonate function>(impersonate_arguments) >> >> >> El sábado, 15 de septiembre de 2012 12:46:14 UTC-3, mweissen escribió: >>> >>> I have built an application where users can impersonate some others.
