Laravel Impersonate

Is an Impersonation package for the Laravel Framework. With this package you can easily impersonate other users either manually or using the interface we provide.

You don't have to worry about authorizing who can impersonate or who can be impersonated, coz we provided it by default, just need to adjust it a little according to your rules.

1. Installation

octicon-alert mr-2" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" width="16" height="16" aria-hidden="true">Warning

This version is a breaking change, many changes were made to the addition of new features, new UI design, and code structure.

If you are upgrade from an old version, please delete the old assets and republish the assets, configure and reset the limitations on the User Model according to this version.

To install the package, simply follow the steps below.

1.1. Install The Package

composer require octopyid/laravel-impersonate:^3

1.2. Publish The Package

artisan vendor:publish --provider="Octopy\Impersonate\ImpersonateServiceProvider"

octicon-info mr-2" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" width="16" height="16" aria-hidden="true">Note

Sometimes some users experience the problem of layout after upgrading the package, this can be solved by deleting the public/vendor/octopyid/impersonate folder then republish the assets.

1.3. Add Impersonate Trait to User Model

Add the trait Octopy\Impersonate\Concerns\Impersonate to your User model.

namespace App\Models;

use Octopy\Impersonate\Concerns\Impersonate;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Impersonate;
}

2. Configuration

This configuration is intended to customize the appearance of Laravel Impersonate, if you don't need a UI, don't forget to set IMPERSONATE_ENABLED to false in your environment file because it is enabled by default.

Please refer to the impersonate.php file to see the available configurations.

3. Usage

3.1. Basic Usage

By default, you don't need to do anything, but keep in mind, Impersonation can be done by anyone if you don't define the rules of who can do impersonation or who can be impersonated.

3.1.1. Defining Limitation

To limit who can do impersonation or who is can be impersonated, add impersonatable(ImpersonateAuthorization $authorization) on the Model to enforce the limitation.

The impersonator method is intended for who can perform the impersonation and the impersonated method is intended for anyone who is allowed to be imitated.

octicon-alert mr-2" viewBox="0 0 16 16" version="1.1" width="16" height="16" aria-hidden="true">Warning

Not defining the ImpersonateAuthorization rules in the Model or misdefining them can lead to serious security issues.

The example below uses Laratrust for role management where SUPER_ADMIN can perform impersonation against CUSTOMER. Feel free to use any other Role Management you like.

use Octopy\Impersonate\Concerns\Impersonate;
use Octopy\Impersonate\ImpersonateAuthorization;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Impersonate;
    
    /**
     * @param  ImpersonateAuthorization $authorization
     * @return void
     */
    public function impersonatable(ImpersonateAuthorization $authorization) : void
    {
        $authorization->impersonator(function (User $user) {
            return $user->hasRole('SUPER_ADMIN');
        });

        $authorization->impersonated(function (User $user) {
            return $user->hasRole('CUSTOMER');
        });
    }
}

3.2. Advanced Usage

3.2.1. Impersonating User Manually

Sometimes you need Impersonating manually, to perform it, you can use the impersonate singleton.

App::make('impersonate')->take($admin, $customer);

Or you just simply call the impersonation method directly through the User Model.

$admin->impersonate($customer);

3.2.2. Defining Guard

Sometimes, you want to use custom guards for authentication, instead of the built-in guards.

There are two ways to define Guard.

3.2.2.1. On The Fly
$impersonate->guard('foo')->impersonate($admin, $customer);
3.2.2.2 Globally

You can use Guard for all ImpersonateAuthorization actions by registering the guard with the AppServiceProvider.

public function boot() : void 
{
    App::make('impersonate')->guard('foo');
}

3.2.3. Leaving ImpersonateAuthorization Mode

To leave ImpersonateAuthorization mode, you just need to call the leave method on impersonate singleton. This will return you to the original user.

$impersonate->leave();

Or via Model directly, but you can't use guard on the fly.

$admin->impersonate->leave();

Don't hesitate to use a guard if you need it.
