Can an administrator switch to another administrator's account?

Can administrators in Discourse switch their account to another administrator’s account, similar to switching to a regular user account?

I don’t think it is possible to do so. All admins have the same permissions though. What exactly are you trying to achieve?

You can only impersonate an admin with an admin account, whose email is in the DEVELOPER_EMAILS list of your app.yml.

I believe only sysadmins can impersonate Discobot (ie. the accounts of the emails in the app.yml). Same for system, and I think other sysadmins too.

I can confirm this. I sometimes need to impersonate other admin accounts (long story…) and had to add my admin account’s email to app.yml before I could do so.

I want to switch from one admin user to another admin account, but in my search, I couldn’t find the method or feature in the discourse.

thank you for reply
