Filament Admin panel 2 support about filament-impersonate

[tanthammar]

@MACscr
I have different fields, table columns, views, actions and more, based on the user role. Want to impersonate, to give support to customers. To make sure I see - what they see.

Hmm, give me a bit to spin up a fresh Filament v2 app. TBH I haven't even done that yet. I wrote this for v1, then received a PR request to make it v2 compatible, and haven't actually tried it out myself. Will do so here in a bit...

[jszobody]

I just tagged v2.1, can you upgrade and let me know if you still have any issues? It's working well for me now with these latest fixes.

I installed v2.1, thankyou :)
But Impersonation doesn't work.
I can't access the Filament admin panel.
I can access the rest of the site, as a logged in user, but when I try to access /admin/ I get the login form.

I added this to the user model:

class User extends Authenticatable implements FilamentUser
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable, UserHasTeams, HasRoles;

    public function canAccessFilament(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function canImpersonate(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function canBeImpersonated(): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

Hmm, I was able to impersonate just fine with my fresh Filament v2 app.

It's worth pointing out though that the purpose of this package is for you (an admin) to impersonate a regular user in your "regular" app. It wasn't meant for you to impersonate another admin and use Filament itself as that other admin.

Does that make sense?

When you click the impersonation icon for one of your users, you should be redirected to your app homepage, and be able to navigate that as the impersonated user. In my case it's just a vanilla Jetstream app that I setup for testing.

Have you customized the Filament auth guard by chance?

config('filament.auth.guard')

[tanthammar]

The auth guard is default.
This is a fresh Laravel Breeze application, where I want all users to access the admin panel.

[MACscr]

I assume your goal with the impersonate package then is to be able to test out their roles/permissions or whatever you set for the admin panel?

@jszobody Thank you for assisting me via Discord!
Enabling the AuthenticateSession middleware did the trick.
For other Breeze users :)
