Add Impersonation?

[dm17]

It is a pretty important feature for many within the auth / identity space. The only modern provider that seems to have support and documentation for "impersonation" is GoAuthentik - but I've not run through your full comparison table yet. Is that a feature you wouldn't mind adding to your comparison table?
Thanks!

Hi @dm17, I'm not familiar with impersonation. Can you clarify how exactly this feature would work?

[dm17]

Apologies; maybe there's a more standardized term for it. Debugging seems like its largest use-case.

Good summary in a keycloak context:
