Impersonation Token #103

Open NiraliSupe opened 2 years ago

NiraliSupe commented 2 years ago

Hello,

Thank you for the awesome token authentication plugin.

I need to implement the api where super user can become anyone and debug the issue. I found the documentation on the token impersonation, however, It doesn't explain much on how to setup the api. Could you please provide more details on the same preferably example?

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thank you

This is properly documented, you just need to add from rest_framework_jwt.views import impersonate_jwt_token and a path to this to your urls.py and then you can sent a package with {'user': <USER_ID>} to the endpoint and you get an authentication token for the user with the USER_ID. Only works as a Django superuser of cause. If you need to make any adjustments to this config you can overwrite it at any point (Serializer, View etc).
