Impersonation - was designed for testing, may have other uses.
    In essence, there's a field in Roles that says they can impersonate within a particular application.
    With a separate login screen, the person can then impersonate any user within the the given app.
    This is very useful for testing
    There are also times when a professor might want to see an application from the pov of a particular student.

    kerberos also has methods of doing this, but many systems on campus are not built to use them

    Other use-cases for impersonations?
    Needs to be handled in coordination with IdM projects
