Pretend is a Laravel package for user impersonation, built on top of Laravel Sanctum, designed to help admins step into the shoes of their users. With Pretend, you can securely impersonate a user, browse your app exactly as they see it, and debug issues or provide support without needing their credentials.
🔑 Sanctum-powered – integrates seamlessly with Laravel Sanctum’s personal access tokens.
🎭 True impersonation – experience the application from the user’s perspective.
🛡️ Secure by design – tokens, events, and middleware to keep impersonation safe and auditable.
⚡ Flexible storage – swap out the default database storage for your own implementation.
- PHP 8.3+
