What you get
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Linked accounts | Do daily work from a low-privilege account and switch to your full admin account only when you need it. A "Switch to" menu in the topbar lists the accounts you've linked. Switching up asks for that account's password; switching down is one click. |
| Impersonation | ImpersonateAction for your user resource, a persistent banner with "Switch back", and canImpersonate() / canBeImpersonated() hooks on your model. |
| Developer logins | One-click sign-in buttons on the login page for the accounts you seed locally — never rendered outside the environments you allow. |
| Audit trail | Every switch is recorded with who, to whom, why, panel, IP and user agent, and fires AccountSwitching / AccountSwitched events. |
