Impersonating Users
</title>
<para>
There may be times when an administrator would like to do something as
another user. The
<command>
sudo
</command>
feature may be used to do
this.
</para>
<note>
<para>
To use the sudo feature, you must be in the
<emphasis>
bz_sudoers
</emphasis>
group. By default, all
administrators are in this group.
</para>
</note>
<para>
If you have access to use this feature, you should notice a link
next to your login name (in the footer) titled "sudo". Click on the
link. This will take you to a page where you will see a description of
the feature and instructions on how to use it. After reading the text,
simply enter the login of the user you would like to impersonate and
press the button.
</para>
<para>
As long as you are using this feature, everything you do will be done
as if you were logged in as the user you are impersonating.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The user you are impersonating will not be told about what you are
doing. If you do anything that results in mail being sent, that
mail will appear to be from the user you are impersonating. You
should be extremely careful while using this feature.
