Limited impersonate capability - View as Teacher

In some cases we would like to allow a user to impersonate another user, but only a limited subset of users. E.g., department heads should be able to impersonate a teacher within their departments only. The head should not be able to impersonate an administrator or a teacher within a different department. Ideally, this would be role-based, along with a capability to add users on an ad hoc basis.

    Hi all, a series of upward merges marked this idea as Implemented along with View as Student. It is not part of yesterday's release, so I have reverted the Implemented status. Apologies for the confusion!

    Please combine this idea with the other two existing ideas about giving "shadowing" ability to teachers so they can impersonate in a read-only fashion. This is super important!!!!

    Allow a user to impersonate another user without editing rights.
