Masquerading as another user on the website.

If you're a member of gsrcadmin, you have the ability to log onto the website as any user. If you go to the "options" page (using the link on the navigation bar in the header), you will see a "Masquerade" link in the left margin.

If you go to that page you can become logged in as anyone at all. When you exit from that login you're back in the one you were in before.

You can use this feature if you find you have to edit someone's profile, or register them for a workshop, or anything else that can only be done by someone logged in as them.

Needless to say, use with caution.
