[keycloak-user] Connect as another user

[Alexander Chriztopher]

At the end of the day any customer data is at the tip of a finger of an admin or other people who can see all they want with an sql statement or even easier sometimes. I've seen a big bank who had this feature implemented on their online banking website and it's been validated by all the security audits out there and it was really helpful.

Is there is a nice way to get this done with Keycloak ? 

Anyone has an idea !
