The sudo feature of [% terms.Bugzilla %] allows you to impersonate a user for a short time While an sudo session is in progress, every action you perform will be taking place as if you had logged in as the user whom will be impersonating.

This is a very powerful feature; you should be very careful while using it. Your actions may be logged more carefully than normal.

To begin, [% IF Param('usemenuforusers') %] select [% ELSE %] enter the login of [% END %] : [% INCLUDE global/userselect.html.tmpl id => "target_login" name => "target_login" value => target_login_default accesskey => "u" size => 30 %]

[% IF !Param('usemenuforusers') %]

The username must be entered exactly. No matching will be performed.

[% END %]

Next, please take a moment to explain

The message you enter here will be sent to the impersonated user by email. You may leave this empty if you wish, but they will still know that you are impersonating them.

[% IF user.authorizer.can_login %]

Finally, enter :
This is done for two reasons. First of all, it is done to reduce the chances of someone doing large amounts of damage using your already-logged-in account. Second, it is there to force you to take the time to consider if you really need to use this feature.
