When setting up the security of a role, it would be useful if one could temporarily "switch" to that role's access, to verify everything , without having to log out as the admin and back in as the user with that role.

Only allow this for superadmins, because they have sudo access to everything anyway. Some of the permissions aren't as clearly documented, so this is a great way to verify without having to involve users and asking them "Does it work now?"

admin or superuser, I don't really care, I just want to avoid the scenario of creating a test user, assigning them to the role, logging out from admin, logging in as test user, realizing I missed a permission, logging out as test user, logging in as admin, adding the permission, logging out as admin, logging in as test user....
