Installation

Step 1: Settings

Add django_su to INSTALLED_APPS. Make sure you put it before django.contrib.admin.

Next add the django-su authentication backend:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    # Standard Django auth
    "django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
    # django-su auth
    "django_su.backends.SuBackend",
)

Step 2: urls.py

Add this to your root urls.py file:

url(r"^su/", include("django_su.urls")),

And that should be it!

Step 4: Customize django_su (optional)

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

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.
