"Login as user" for the Django admin.
-
Add
loginasto your Python path, or install using pip:pip install django-loginas -
Add the
loginasapp to yourINSTALLED_APPS:
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (... 'loginas', ...)
- Add the loginas URL to your
urls.py:
# urls.py
urlpatterns += patterns('loginas.views',
url(r"^login/user/(?P<user_id>.+)/$", "user_login", name="loginas-user-login"),
)
- At this point, the only users who will be able to log in as other users are those with the
is_superuserpermission. If you use custom User models, and haven't specified that permission, or if you want to change which users are authorized to log in as others, you can define theCAN_LOGIN_ASsetting, like so:
# settings.py
# This will allow authenticated users with listed ids log in as other users:
CAN_LOGIN_AS_USER_IDS = [1, 2]
# This will allow authenticated users with listed emails log in as other users:
CAN_LOGIN_AS_USER_EMAILS = ['[email protected]']
# This will only allow admins to log in as other users:
CAN_LOGIN_AS = lambda request, target_user: request.user.is_admin
# This will only allow admins to log in as other users, as long as
# those users are not admins themselves:
CAN_LOGIN_AS = lambda request, target_user: request.user.is_admin and not target_user.is_admin
# You can also define a string path to a module:
CAN_LOGIN_AS = "utils.helpers.custom_loginas"If you what to extend default CAN_LOGIN_AS function you can do it in next way:
# helpers.py
from loginas.views import check_can_login_as
def custom_loginas(request, target_user):
if target_user.is_admin:
return False
return check_can_login_as(request, target_user)If you're using a custom User model, you'll need to add the template to it so the button shows up:
# admin.py
class YourUserAdmin(ModelAdmin):
change_form_template = 'loginas/change_form.html'At this point, you should be good to go. Just visit the Django admin, navigate to a user and you should see the "Log in as user" button at the top right of the screen.
