ASP.NET Membership Login as User

Question

I have an ASP.NET Membership Site with different roles (customer and admin).

Is it possible to login as a customer when i am logged in as an admin? How?

I have no access to the passwords, so i don't know if it is possible or how.

Do you mean log in as a *specific* user? Or just log in as a user in the `customer` role? — Andrew Barber, Jul 31 '12 at 12:41

Built-in ASP.NET Membership Provider has not such feature, I would call it "impersonation".

To implement it you need to inherit SqlMembershipProvider and extend it.

If we're talking about the roles admin and customer, you can assign both roles to the user.

If I have understood you correctly then this may be an option forms authentication user impersonation - I have implemented it in a production site and works pretty well.
