Django view Site as another user from admin without knowing/resetting password

Question

Is there a way in Django for the admin to view site as another user.

This can be used to debug user specific bugs.

As we don't know the password, the only solution I found is to reset the password from djangoadmin and login it to that user.

This functionality is not built-in to django, fortunately like many such cases, the community is there to help.

django-hijack does what you require:

django-hijack allows superusers to hijack (=login as) and work on behalf of another user.
