Advanced Usage

By default all users can impersonate an user.
You need to add the method canImpersonate() to your user model:

/**
* @return bool
*/
public function canImpersonate($impersonated = null)
{
// For example
return $this->is_admin == 1;
}

By default all users can be impersonated.
You need to add the method canBeImpersonated() to your user model to extend this behavior: Please make sure to pass instance Model or Nova Resource Impersonate::make($this) Impersonate::make($this->resource)

/**
* @return bool
*/
public function canBeImpersonated(?\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable $impersonator = null)
{
// For example
return $this->can_be_impersonated == 1;
}

By default name field is used for when displaying what user is impersonated at a moment. You need to add the method impersonateName() to your user model to extend this behavior: Please make sure to pass instance Model or Nova Resource Impersonate::make($this) Impersonate::make($this->resource)

/**
* @return string
*/
public function impersonateName()
{
// For example
return $this->email;
}

Events

You can hook onto the underlying package events

May be userful for things like setting session data

  • Lab404\Impersonate\Events\TakeImpersonation
  • Lab404\Impersonate\Events\LeaveImpersonation

You can optionally publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-impersonate-config

This is the default content of the config file published at config/nova-impersonate.php:

<?php
 
return [
'enable_middleware' => true, // To inject the 'nova-impersonate::reverse' view in every route when impersonating
'redirect_back' => true, // false (nova path), true or <url>
'redirect_to' => '/',
'key_down' => 'i', // Press `i` to impersonate user in details page
'middleware' => [
'base' => 'web', // Middleware used for nova-impersonate routes
'leave' => 'auth', // Extra middleware used for leave route
],
];

You can publish and customize the nova-impersonate::reverse view

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-impersonate-views
