User Impersonation

To enable the user impersonation links you must first enable the impersonation feature in your firewall. Once you have enabled the feature, you will need to ensure that the user that you wish to role switch from has the ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH role.

role_hierarchy:
    ...
    ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_SONATA_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]

firewalls:
    main:
        ...
    admin:
        ...
        switch_user: true

Please note that sessions are not shared by default over different firewalls (for example, if you are trying to switch to a user who is authenticated on another firewall, such as main given in the example above). To enable this feature please refer to the Symfony Documentation.

Then is it simply a case of providing the route name to redirect to once the user has been impersonated in the NucleosUserAdminBundle configuration:

nucleos_user_admin:
    ...
    impersonating:
        route: sonata_admin_dashboard

Here we have used the admin dashboard route, but you can supply any named route in your application.
