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
