We have a case where we want to allow a logged in admin user to 
impersonate another user so that they can visit differents browser apps 
as that user (So they can see everything that the user sees through 
their browser).

Anybody know of any protocol work being done here in the OAuth group or 
some other IETF or even Connect effort that would support something like 
this?

Thanks,

Bill
