We’re using an auth we configured to log into Sunstone using an institute single-signon (Shibboleth). It works fine, but it would be handy for admins to switch or impersonate a user to see what cloud views, permissions, etc they see. I see how to switch groups and views in Sunstone, but is there a way to switch to another user?

The is currently no way to achieve this functionality out of the box.

It is an interesting feature, we added it to the backlog: [https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/issues/5206](https://github.com/OpenNebula/one/issues/5206)
