Hi I impersonated my alternate account on my forum today to do a quick test of a feature i did for the forum and it said Impersonating user 15 minutes left but i’ve never seen it before and nor have i seen a setting for this. have i missed a discussion on this? if there’s a setting can i get the …

It’s a hidden setting. You need to enable it from the rails console ./launcher enter app rails c SiteSetting.experimental_impersonation_time_limit_minutes = 30 # or whatever exit

There is a hidden experimental_impersonation_time_limit_minutes setting set to 15 minutes.
