Login as Another User #2

One issue with Google Apps for educational institutions is not being able to 
monitor student content inside of Google Docs. The only way to access user 
created documents are if they share that document with a teacher. This feature 
gives specified administrators/users the ability to login as a different user 
to then view their content. Security, access logging, etc. need to be 
thoroughly thought out as it could be a big security risk.

More research is needed for this feature. I'm not sure what the process will 
look like when trying to initiate a SAML request from an admin page. Rough idea 
is that the admin would login to an admin console page (googleapps/admin) and 
be presented with a list of possible users to login as. Then, somehow, start 
the SAML request with Google Apps and generate a response as the other user.
