“The widget to choose the users in the form of ‘login su’ will be a autocomplete”:http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-ajax-selects

In your settings you can configure:
SU_REDIRECT_LOGIN: URL to redirect after the login. By default is “/”
SU_REDIRECT_EXIT: URL to redirect after the logout. By default is “/”
SU_LOGIN: A function to specify the perms that the user must have can use django_su
h2. Usage
Go and view a user in the admin interface and look for a new ‘Login as’ button in the top right.
Once you have su’ed into a user, you can get exit back into your original user by navigating to @/su/@ in your browser.
