Install Devise Masqerade

PreviousInstall RSpec, Capybara, FactoryBotNextHosting

Last updated 5 years ago

Assumptions:

  • You have Devise installed

  • You're using Administrate for the admin area

Here's what I did:

  • Installed the gem

  • Added the following line to app/views/admin/application/show.html.erb

<% if params[:controller] == 'admin/users' && params[:action] == 'show' %>
  <%= link_to "Impersonate User", masquerade_path(page.resource), class: "button" %>
<% end %>

  • Added this to app/models/user.rb

    , :masqueradable

  • Add the following to app/views/layouts/application.html.erb (or somewhere at the top of the DOM):

<% if user_masquerade? %>
  <div style="background: #eee;font-size: 10px; padding: 8px; position: fixed; bottom: 0; left: 0; z-index:9999;"><%= link_to "Stop impersonate", back_masquerade_path(current_user) %></div>
<% end %>
