      It would be helpful for jira-administrator to be able to "login as" a given user (aka "su -" for unix fellows).
      when creating a new project with new permission scheme, user environment could then be tested, without having to know user password...

            Couldn't this be transitioned to Gathering interest?

            This (free, Server only) add-on works great: User Switcher for Jira

            You can do this running the built-in script "Switch to a different user" from Script Runner plugin.

            Hi Brian,

            Andy's plugin was done after mine but is an identical implementation. I think one is probably enough, so I'll update my blog page to point to "Jira SU".

            cheers, jamie

            Hi Jamie,

            I am not sure if you are still maintaining your plugin - but I do not find it on plugins.atlassian.com If you are still updating this plugin, please consider posting this up on plugins.atlassian.com

            I did find a similar plugin (JIRA SU) described here: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/5043

            Regards,

            Brian

            Conversely, I would like to be able to "su - admin" from my own account.

            I.e. just like in a unix environment, you don't login as ROOT for day to day stuff... you login as yourself (tcolson) and when you need to do something as an admin, you su into root, do your task, and go back to your lowly status.

            I have set up clients, but have told them not to change their password. This feature would help me see what clients see without changing the password, and allowing them to set their own.
