How can I enter user page from active admin?

Question

I'm using active admin in my rails application.

I want to enter user's account page from active admin page because I want to check what the user exactly is seeing.

I thought that I can decrypt devise encrypted password, but I found out that I cannot do that Rails Devise, how to unencrypt a password?

I tried entering the site by using the encrypted password, but I couldn't.

How can I implement this?

Answer 1

If it so important, you can copy encrypted password from db and paste own encrypted password for this user. You can do it via rails c . After your actions rewrite password again. But it is a bad way. You must write some tests for your app.

Answer 2

There is an example in the Devise Wiki How to : How To: Sign in as another user if you are an admin

The proposed solution replaces the current user in session, so I think you'll be signed out of ActiveAdmin.
