Act as if - masquerade in Teacher App

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Canvas admins need the ability to act as if (masquerade) as the teacher in the new teacher app.  Attempting to support the teacher without this capability is extremely difficult.  The functionality should work the same way that it does for Canvas Student.

Thanks for this,  @kristin_bayless . At first, I didn't see the need - but after thinking over this I can totally see the application. If a teacher/faculty member reports an issue within the Teacher app to me, it would be nice to support this from their perspective. This could be accomplished by using the method in which it requires the Canvas ID in the profile.

Great idea.  I ran into this a couple of times.

This is great news!  It will make it so much easier to support the teachers, esp when there are changes to the teacher app.
