			Impersonate::make($this),  // <---
		
			// or
            
            Impersonate::make($this->resource), // works in lenses
            
            // or
		
			Impersonate::make($this)->withMeta([
			    'hideText' => false,
			]),

Advanced Usage

By default all users can impersonate an user.
You need to add the method canImpersonate() to your user model:

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function canImpersonate($impersonated = null)
    {
        // For example
        return $this->is_admin == 1;
    }

By default all users can be impersonated.
You need to add the method canBeImpersonated() to your user model to extend this behavior: Please make sure to pass instance Model or Nova Resource Impersonate::make($this) Impersonate::make($this->resource)

    /**
     * @return bool
     */
    public function canBeImpersonated(?\Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable $impersonator = null)
    {
        // For example
        return $this->can_be_impersonated == 1;
    }

By default name field is used for when displaying what user is impersonated at a moment. You need to add the method impersonateName() to your user model to extend this behavior: Please make sure to pass instance Model or Nova Resource Impersonate::make($this) Impersonate::make($this->resource)

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function impersonateName()
    {
        // For example
        return $this->email;
    }

This is the default content of the config file published at config/nova-impersonate.php:

<?php

return [
	'enable_middleware' => true, // To inject the 'nova-impersonate::reverse' view in every route when impersonating 
	'redirect_back'     => true, // false (nova path), true or <url>
	'redirect_to'       => '/',
	'key_down'          => 'i', // Press `i` to impersonate user in details page
	'middleware'        => [
            'base' => 'web', // Middleware used for nova-impersonate routes
            'leave'  => 'auth', // Extra middleware used for leave route
    ],
];

You can publish and customize the nova-impersonate::reverse view

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=nova-impersonate-views
