Project description
Login as any user from the Django admin interface, then switch back when done
Authored by Adam Charnock, and some great contributors.
Installation
Either checkout django_su from GitHub, or install using pip :
pip install django-suAdd django_su to your INSTALLED_APPS. Make sure you put it before django.contrib.admin :
INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'django_su', # must be before ``django.contrib.admin`` 'django.contrib.admin', )Add SuBackend to AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS :
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = ( ... 'django_su.backends.SuBackend', )Update your urls.py file :
urlpatterns = [ url(r'^su/', include('django_su.urls')), ... ]
And that should be it!
Please see example application. This application is used to manually test the functionalities of this package. This also serves as a good example.
django-su requires Django 1.4 or above. Older versions may work but are untested.
External dependencies (optional, but recommended)
The following apps are optional but will enhance the user experience:
The ‘login su’ form will render using django-form-admin
The user selection widget will render using django-ajax-selects
Note that django-ajax-selects requires the following settings:
AJAX_LOOKUP_CHANNELS = {'django_su': dict(model='auth.user', search_field='username')}Configuration (optional)
There are various optional configuration options you can set in your settings.py
# URL to redirect after the login.
# Default: "/"
SU_LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/"
# URL to redirect after the logout.
# Default: "/"
SU_LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = "/"
# A function specifying the permissions a user requires in order
# to use the django-su functionality.
# Default: None
SU_LOGIN_CALLBACK = "example.utils.su_login_callback"
# A function to override the django.contrib.auth.login(request, user)
# view, thereby allowing one to set session data, etc.
# Default: None
SU_CUSTOM_LOGIN_ACTION = "example.utils.custom_login"Usage
Go and view a user in the admin interface and look for a new “Login as” button in the top right.
Once you have su’ed into a user, you can get exit back into your original user by navigating to /su/ in your browser.
Notify superuser when connected with another user
This option warns the superuser when working with another user as initally logged in. To activate this option perform:
Add django_su.context_processors.is_su to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS :
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( ... 'django_su.context_processors.is_su', )In your base.html include su/is_su.html snippet :
{% include "su/is_su.html" %}
