            Impersonate::make($this),  // <---
 
            // or
 
            Impersonate::make($this->resource), // works in lenses
 
            // or
 
            Impersonate::make($this)->withMeta([
                'hideText' => false,
            ]),
 
            // or
 
            Impersonate::make($this)->withMeta([
                'redirect_to' => '/custom-redirect-url'
            ]),
 
        ];
    }
 
    ...
}

#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
